Mark Pocan: Republicans reveal their hand with awful health care bill
It is a terrible proposal and people are going to pay more for less coverage. That’s the big lie of Paul Ryan’s Trumpcare, though: It was never intended to help people.

The Assembly GOP plan breaks new ground. It’s bold, and bold is what we need in a state that has long been behind the growth curve.
Kooyenga pitched his plan as a way to address Wisconsin’s population decline, which he attributed to retirees headed to known low-tax havens. People I know who’ve moved south talk about the snow blowers they don’t need anymore, not tax rates in Wisconsin that don’t apply.
What we have now is of the Rube Goldberg variety, with punishing taxes, blinding complexity and overreliance on ultimately self-destructive borrowing. Kooyenga’s plan starts to lead us out of this morass.
Wisconsin’s adult inmate population is expected to grow to 23,233 by mid-2019.

The power of a video to go viral, or one Facebook customer’s unhappiness to spread, or millions of voices to chime in on Twitter– all are creating havoc at airports, stores, squad patrols, media outlets, complaints departments, sports events and, of course, almost every event the Trump administration concocts.
While we have all become too accustomed to watching story after story on the nightly news about the latest overdose death in our community, soon we may actually see some positive opiate news – direct movement from our state government to combat this growing and especially destructive problem.
Documents examined by the Center for Media and Democracy expose a national effort by the Milwaukee-based Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation to defund and dismantle unions, the most significant force for higher wages and better working conditions in America.
Gallagher’s first 100 days have been refreshing and may portend the type of congressional vision offered by a new class of millennial leaders.
Wisconsin state law requires the state budget to balance on a two-year cash basis, and it does. That’s why it shows a surplus. But financial statements in the state’s comprehensive annual report show Wisconsin remains in the red, even as public officials declare the budget to be in the black.
