Kucinich Slams Lord Walker : The truth hurts, Especially when someone smacks you so hard with it you blurt it out yourself.....

At no other time in recent memory has any politician, other than Paul Ryan, received such an in-your-face-with-fact-not-hate-SMACKDOWN. This CLOWN thought he would be cheered the champion hero on this pathetic, thinly-veiled, fundraising junket. He is being held to ridicule throughout the national, and international press both. Yesterday April 14, 2011, The Walker Express ran head-on into the immovable wall of truth and fact, derailing the happy little whistlestop tour in a jarringly public admission...

KUCINICH: Let me ask you about some of the specific provisions in your proposals to strip collective bargaining rights. First, your proposal would require unions to hold annual votes to continue representing their own members. Can you please explain to me and members of this committee how much money this provision saves for your state budget?

WALKER: It doesn’t save any. [...]

 KUCINICH: I want to ask about another one of your proposals. Under your plan you would prohibit paying union member dues from their paychecks. How much money would this provision save your state budget?

WALKER: It would save employees a thousand dollars a year they could use to pay for their pensions and health care contributions.

KUCINICH: Governor, it wouldn’t save anything. [Goes on to present letter from LRF and is denied unanimous request for it to be placed in the public record by Issa][/blockquote]

WALKER: That and a number of other provisions we put in because if you’re going to ask, if you’re going to put in place a change like that, we wanted to make sure we protected the workers of our state, so they got value out of that. [...]

KUCINICH: Would you answer the question? How much money does it save, Governor?
