Spin At Its Best: Leader-Telegram calls personal responsibly not productive and not what the people want

So the Leader-Telegram thinks that John Gard's Assembly goals miss the mark:

Medicaid reform and tax-deductible health care savings accounts don't address health care Doug Mell say.

Excuse me, but encouraging personal health care accounts will provide health care for more people since there will be more incentive.

School vouchers don't address the educational needs?

Excuse me, I think your right, but would you be happier if we helped schools out by increasing the vouchers beyond Milwaukee or how about tax-credits to all the state increasing the amount of education money around for everyone?

And on the job, front keeping out minimum wages is suppose to be a distraction, Mr. Mell says.

Excuse me, but most business leader would agree that artificially raising the price of all labor is one of the fastest ways to kick their job producing business out of the state.

Finally, Doug Mell wants the legislature to "encourage local governments to merge or work together"

Excuse me, but wouldn't a property tax do that? "Encourage" is a wad of paper in front of the donkey; tax freeze is the carrot.

You can't list everything as top priority in the Assembly. Even worse, do you expect John Gard to endorse Doug Mell's big government solutions when the people just expressed through their votes that they wanted less of it? Just ask Joe Plouff and Mary Panzer about it if you don't know what I'm talking about.

When Mr. Mell concludes by saying "Maybe this is the session in which people regain [the control of the government]" he's already forgetting what happened in November.
