Last week, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, chairmen of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, released a proposal detailing a five-part plan to reduce the deficit. Although their proposal has well-intentioned ideas, it lacks some necessary steps needed to adequately address the federal deficit.
When Governor-elect Scott Walker takes office Jan. 3, 2011, he'll inherit a projected deficit of $2.7 billion and an unemployment rate of 7 percent. He'll also inherit a beautiful new home worthy of recognition on ""MTV Cribs."" The Wisconsin Governor's Mansion, located in Maple Bluff village, is a $2.5 million manor sitting on 3.7 acres of prime lakeside property. The mansion, built in 1920, features seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and seven major gardens, including a gazebo.
