Frankie L designs skirts

The Wisconsin legislature has finally reached a budget deal, and Frank's ass is officially chapped.

___________________________________________________________________

"There is a budget deal. The major points have been agreed on, and the minor points will be ironed out today.

I will be voting “No” on this budget tomorrow.

This budget is flawed because taxes will be increased by a half billion dollars and because there is a $200 million raid of the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund—a fund designed to protect doctors from large malpractice claims.

The raid on the Compensation fund is likely to end up in court; we could end up repaying it along with interest, court costs and fees.

I predict that the raid on this fund will drive medical prices up. We will pay more for our medical care.

This budget is a raw deal for us, the taxpayers."

Frank, this is getting too easy. I can only hope and pray that the new budget calls for the elimination of your compensation. Only if the desire to put more guns in our schools, import a plethora of Illinois lawyers and butcher the mandates of logical argumentation and advocacy are considered desirable traits up in Lambeau Country can I understand a scenario where you are paid.

Last Monday, your blog admonished Democrats for refusing to compromise. You pointed out various aspects of their budget proposal that you hoped Democrats would make concessions on. The same day, you bitched about the Governor being a hypocrite. Now we've got a situation where you're not entirely happy, and you're post indicates that you're absolutely unwilling to compromise. Pot, kettle, black.

Last Friday, you mentioned that creating a state budget is a difficult endeavor because unemployment in Wisconsin has increased. Ignoring the obvious fact that you never mentioned why that's a concern in the budgeting procedure, you've managed to place yourself in an argumentative predicament. You recognize that more people are without jobs, and are pissed that taxes are increasing? Seriously? Even you've got to realize that when people are unemployed, it becomes more difficult for them to finance their basic needs. Come on Frank, pull your head out of your ass and recognize that public assistance programs don't fund themselves.

I'm not even going to talk about medical malpractice issues with you - you're beyond a lost cause at this point. If you're willing to protect surgeons that commit serious errors and honestly think that the management of medical policy is best left in the hands of various insurance companies, as opposed to the citizens, I should probably save this conversation for someone with an intellectual capacity that allows for a more profound thought than "daaarrrrhhhhh" provides.

Maybe your constituents would be willing to replace you with someone a bit more qualified (not retarded) if they were aware of your degree in fashion design?
