Is Governor Doyle going to defect to Washington, DC.?
Why is Doyle so anxious to sign this budget? Well, rumor has it that Doyle is on his way out. President Obama supposedly wants him in Washington DC. to head up the Peace Corps. Could this be true? After all, this would explain Doyle's rush to sign off on a bill that would bankrupt our state and make Wisconsin even more of a tax hell than it already is. Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and his wife served as Peace Corps Volunteers in Tunisia in the 1960's.

Our ethically-challenged Governor, Jim Doyle, is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to sign off on the Wisconsin state budget. This is a budget that includes huge increases in taxes and fees. Huge increases in spending - unprecedented during times of high unemployment and a recession. And when all is said and done, Wisconsin will still be over $2,600,000,000.00 in debt.
Why is Doyle so anxious to sign this budget? Well, rumor has it that Doyle is on his way out. President Obama supposedly wants him in Washington DC. to head up the Peace Corps. Could this be true? After all, this would explain Doyle's rush to sign off on a bill that would bankrupt our state and make Wisconsin even more of a tax hell than it already is.
And with Doyle's approval ratings in the low 30's, it seems as though Doyle wouldn't have a chance if he were to try to run for Governor again against Republicans Scott Walker or Mark Neumann in 2010. So, in Doyle's mind, why not sign off on a bill that soaks Wisconsin taxpayers, without any repercussions to Doyle? He won't be harmed. It makes sense.
