On November 6th, we will head to the polls and decide if we want to continue on the current path of prosperity or do we want to return to the deficit spending, high taxation and anti-business policies of the democrats? The good times are apparently so boring that it is leading some to become complacent and decide to stay home, letting others determine the fate of our nation and state. I guess too much of a good thing is not so good. The mantra persists that it is time for a change. Election cycles ebb and flow, when the democrats are is power, progress stalls and then we vote to put Republicans back in charge to clean up the mess. It is getting to the point where, if left unimpeded, the democrats may be able to foul up the works to the point that the Republicans may not be able to fix it again.
Here in Wisconsin, under Republican leadership, we have the lowest unemployment rate ever! We have so many job openings that we do not have enough people to fill them. It must be easy to forget an economy with over 9% unemployment and stagnant wages when the democrats were last in charge. Today, under Republican policies, taxes are down, wages are up and the stock market is thriving, ever increasing our retirement accounts.
Contrary to what you may be hearing, our roads and infrastructure is constantly and consistently being rebuilt and repaired. Have you traveled the newly completed Zoo exchange or the recently rebuilt Interstate in Green Bay? The cost of road building has nearly tripled in the last 10 years, and Governor Walker and the Republican led legislature has done a remarkable job of dedicating limited resources to maintaining our roadways. It is easy to forget when the democrat led legislature stood by when Governor Doyle raided the transportation fund again and again, allowing our roads to deteriorate.
Governor Walker and the Republican led legislature has made Wisconsin a destination for business. It is easy to forget when the democrats sat by idly when business after business left the state to escape from high taxation and anti-business policies. It is easy to forget when the democrats presided over a budget deficit in excess of $3 billion. Governor Walker and the Republican led legislature have turned that deficit into a surplus.
Democrats falsely claim that Governor Walker opposes insurance coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. Actually, Walker signed legislation that lowered premiums for those on ObamaCare and mandated pre-existing conditions coverage. Tammy Baldwin and the democrats want Medicare for all, their coveted single-payer, government run system that comes with a price tag of $32 trillion. Who do you think will pay for that, the rich? No, you and I will foot that bill. Our national debt is already over $20 trillion. How much higher will it rise with this foolish scheme?
While democrats finally exposed their true colors during the Kavanaugh hearings and immigration reform obstruction, the choice could not be clearer when you cast your vote. We can continue moving forward by casting your vote for the policies that drive the economic engine of our State and nation and uphold the rule of law, or return to the failed policies of the left with high deficits, higher taxes and companies leaving the State. Make it your choice to make certain that we continue the good times and put Republicans into office. Re-elect Scott Walker, Glen Grothman and Rick Gundrum. Elect Leah Vukmir to the US Senate so we can have a Senator that truly represents us. Let’s divert the so-called “blue wave” and make it a “red tsunami” to continue the optimism created by policies that encourage rather than impede progress. It is not time to make a change when policy decisions are benefiting everyone and Wisconsin is moving forward. Don't let the democrats lead us into the sewer of socialism because you chose not to vote!
