Scott Walker Is Officially Running for President
Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, the chosen candidate of the billionaire Koch Bros., officially entered the race for the 2016 presidential nomination Monday morning. Walker narrowly survived a recall election in 2012 after forcing through anti-union legislation, and is famous for gutting his state’s public education funding.
Yesterday, he line-item vetoed the shit out of Wisconsin’s budget, allowing the state to drug test all food stamp recipients and cutting more than $1 million in grants to environmental organizations. He also gutted his state’s education funding (again).
The Koch Bros. have said they plan to spend $900 million influencing the 2016 elections.
