Walker gives his friend's son a demotion...to $62,000 or so a year...

[Snoutport]

Wow...I'm a teacher with a master's degree (required) and I make less than 41,000 a year. I guess I should have dropped out of college and gotten a couple of DUI's.... that's how you make the big money these days.

1. Not sure where the $62,000 is coming from

[phantom power]

2. bootstraps == "toady up to the right people," for republicans

[virgogal]

3. I'm out of the loop----who's Walker?

[Critters2]

5. Governor of Wisconsin nt

[virgogal]

15. Of course,I feel so stupid. Thanks.

[Critters2]

18. Not at all. Perhaps you were subconsciously hoping his recall had already taken place.

It's only a matter of time, after all :)

[virgogal]

19. True-----nice of you to give my idiocy a positive spin.

[Critters2]

22. Lots of experience--I give my own idiocy a positive spin all the time. :) nt

6. Dictator of Wisconsin

[virgogal]

16. God,I feel like an idiot. Thanks.

4. Nearly $65,000, according to this AP article:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-wi-xgr-walker-hiring,0,7615036.story

So he's still outrageously overpaid.

But I'm glad Walker was feeling enough heat over the decision to demote him.

And I love this headline at BusinessInsider.com:

Scott Walker Gave $81K Job To Lobbyist's Dropout Kid

That article links to the AP article about the demotion.

7. The real crime here is that position needs a knowledgeable person in it.

[Bozita]

10. Not true if the goal is to destroy any/all of the public's faith in govt.

[rustydog]

24. Not really. Snot took a cue from Bush. Remember "Heck of a job Brownie."?

Rewarding incompetent people to well-paid positions is a GOP standard.

[RagAss]

8. Don't rest until this fucker is in the mailroom at 14K a year.

[ThomCat]

9. Being born into the right family is always the most important credential.

:(

It is worth more more than any skill, experience or degree. x(

[onethatcares]

11. well, as long as it's "or so"

why worry?:sarcasm:

jesusonaharley, I'm almost 60 years old and have never owned a car that costs 30K.

I missed the train and now that prickscott has turned down the money for the bullet train, I'll never get on one.

[rucky]

12. It's only fair to count his bennies, too.

I bet he has a sweet pension plan.

[Sirveri]

13. don't forget his health insurance. How dar he have health insurance!

Look at all these other poor Americans with no health insurance. Lets take his health insurance away too...

[Bozita]

14. I'm betting he's getting one of those "Cadillac" health insurance packages

[Snoutport]

20. where do we find out his pension plan? let's get that into the news!!

[fujiyama]

17. Not only should you have done what you said

but your dad should have been a major contributor to a corrupt republican governor!

[tanyev]

21. Bet you drive around lording your 93 Nissan Sentra over everyone.

You probably have AM, FM AND a cassette player. Elitist.



:hide:

[SoCalDem]

25. and I'll bet you order the Grand Slam at Dennys, instead of the one-egg bargain breakfast

You teachers are all alike.. spendthrifts who like to blow money like it grows on trees:)

[Generic Other]

23. LOL, I predicted it!
