" You need to go back to the contribution for retirment for City, County, and State Workers to an employee/employer split as originally set up and intended. Even with this cut these employees will have much more contributed than almost all of the private sector Workers in WI. The amount of money that this one change will save is staggering. Then stop post early retirement health care coverage for these same workers. If you want to retire at 55, be prepared like the rest of us out here! "

" Get with the times: Food stamps went away years ago. There was a study that determined there was too much suffering due to having to present food coupons to cashiers. They now have state issued credit cards not easily recognized as freebie's. When shopping with my children about 15 years ago we followed a family with 3 carts filled with meat and seafood through the check out and they paid with food coupons. After I paid cash for our minute rice, tuna and hamburger helper my children asked, What kind of money was that those other people used? I explained what food stamps were and they asked why I didn't quit my job so we could get all the things they could buy? I told them I would not do that, I loved them too much to set a bad example for them! "

" There is no welfare check. The state does not give out cash to people on assistance. They get medical assistance, food share, and child care assistance. The only time they issue a check is if you just had a child and are on maternity leave, and that is only until the child is twelve weeks old. "

" so they want money to reduce infant mortality, yet they want abortion? now that is one huge contradiction. "

" It seems like I've angered one of the liberal, support any program that has the word child or infant in the title. One way liberals pass bloated, worthless govt. programs is to say it's for the "children" or my favorite, "It's investing in our future" How about some of you left leaning liberals wake up and stop enabling fleabags that won't work or get an education. One of the biggest reasons welfare leaches keep having children is because they just keep raking in the food stamps, rent vouchers, and the welfare check. "

" Maybe it's you that ought to learn about the program before YOU "start to cry and whine." You do more crying and whining than anybody on the Trib's various pages! You're even worse than the liberals! What a cranky, grouchy old belly-acher! Get over it! "

" It matters not what they do, because Doyle will rewrite the entire thing anyway, just like last time. Call your State Senators and tell them to pass the VETO amendment. Until then, expect more of the same piled higher and deeper. "

" What exactly does the Govt. program to reduce infant mortality rates do? Is it one of those stupid public service commercials on tv that tell you not to smoke crack and eat your vegetables when you're pregnant? Before the liberals start to cry and whine about the program being cut, I'd like to hear what it does and who runs it. "

" Setting limits and arranging priorities is responsible government. Education in Wisc is very well funded compared to other states. While education & social programs are important; Wisc is one of the top ten taxed states. Public schools spend 3 times the amount per student that parochial schools spend to educate a student. Government needs to have limits on spending. "

" Wow, that's some hard hitting editorializing guys. I am underwhelmed. You've complained about the cuts to the university system and other crazy cuts but when you do use Huebschacrook's name in an editorial you play softball. Why is that? The important question is this: will the Trib endorse Huebsch next year like they have every year since he first ran? Probably. There's no reason to fear him...don't be afraid to call him out once in a while. "

" It used to be the church or temple was the outlet to help those in need. Then 40 years ago politicians decided gov't knew better how to help with individual problems. The only result was MORE people that need help. How does that work? "

" Its pretty sad when GOP legislators find gold bullion more important than infant mortality rates. And this is from the party that is supposively prolife? It just shows me that their rhetoric is not even close to their so-called principles. This also proves me right on the issue with republicans that they favor profits over people at any cost. That is why I never support the GOP. I am a person first, who makes money second. "
