However, based on politifact and Legislative Reference Bureau they are at a minimum playing fast and loose with facts (and omission thereof) with the last figure cited of $1.2B: http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2010/dec/05/jeff-fitzgerald/jeff-fitzgerald-says-gov-jim-doyle-and-democrats-r/<br /><br />EXCERPT: The Legislative Fiscal Bureau, the official scorekeeper, estimated the repair bill would raise $290 million from tax changes. The main source was "combined reporting," in which lawmakers closed what some viewed as a loophole that allowed corporations to shuffle profits to subsidiaries in states that don’t tax them.<br /><br />If a new fee on hospital revenue was included, the new revenue total was $1.2 billion over three years, according to the fiscal bureau.<br /><br />That element features its own mini debate:<br /><br />The fiscal bureau calls the hospital assessment a fee. Media reports commonly referred to it as a tax. Hospitals backed the fee because it allowed the state to tap a large new stream of federal money that boosts Medicaid reimbursement to hospitals; Republicans derided it as a "sick tax" that would raise costs to patients.<br /><br />As for Obama's ownership of the loss of AAA rating, the Republicons in congress are to blame as well for playing chicken with America's responsibility to pay it's debts. <br /><br />And of course since the bu$h administration is directly responsible for $6 Trillion of the debt (42%) and for the decreased revenues from Great GOPrecession that followed, blaming Obama is about as credible as calling him a socialist, a terrorist, a foreigner, a secret muslim or any of the the other crap you guys peddle in your ignorant and ill-willed hatred.Sean Cranleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170723474238012805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-62098428157806942842011-09-23T07:16:27.010-07:002011-09-23T07:16:27.010-07:00Anon, don't take too much exception in anythin...Anon, don't take too much exception in anything that sean rants about.

A gambling reference, making sense being he sold out to the tribes. And teacher unions, and trial lawyers. All of your fees were raised, including hospital taxes. Talk about screwing the little guy! All those added taxes at both the state and local levels, and the "math majors" supporting him and writing the laws still couldn't get it done. Disgusting!

Nemo knows you better than I do, so it never suprises me when he makes you eat your words. Beyond that, Denis' original thought was how socialists like you adore guvmint monopolies who rip off the taxpayers with no accountability, when any private sector concern who approaches monopoly status still is ultimately responcible to the market. And they fall as well, because a better mousetrap is constantly being built. Gov doesn't even know what that means. Which is why RUSD sucks as badly as it does.<br /><br />Beyond that, your Koch, ALEC, et. al. references are the knee-jerk reactions of a mind-numb lunatic, always looking for a bogeyman when your philosopy fails at the polls.

And since you admit that you didn't "dig through" my entries that proves that you had no access to real information on my position on the rail question and therefore simply made it up (ya know, lied), CONcocting your own convenient "reality" like a good little Con.<br /><br />BTW what that cretin did to Vos was the act of a complete a-hole, even though Vos is a FALEC corporatist (AKA fascist) stooge. People should know on whose behalf laws that govern their live are being written in the interest of informed consent. You may like being a corporate serf, but you should at least know that you are.<br /><br />But what's most amussing to me is that Nemo is still obsessively reading everything I write over at KBR despite the fact that he was booted from there long ago for his lack of intellectual integrity. I guess a troll just can't help his trollish nature, even when he can no longer climb up on the bridge for his obligatory rhetorical ramming.
