Wisconsin Republicans are going to address an important question at their upcoming convention.quote:To secede or not to secede. Look, sometimes the Federal government is just tyrannical and you kind of have to secede, so Wisconsin Republicans need to make clear that option is totally on the table. An example of that tyranny? How about the recent budget agreement between the House and the Senate, which they have also drafted a resolution to condemn? The resolution does not mention the House member who was a party to that agreement, because his name is Paul Ryan (R-WI).

They're too focused on loving the Feds to realize the terrible new nation they've created. "We've successfully condemned an entire state to abject poverty possible starvation, and a new place at the third world countries table in the UN." I do like to imagine the horror when they realize they've effectively neutered what little power they have internationally by going solo.

Fried Chicken posted:I can't speak to the local issues he'd be dealing with, but generally local splits are over local issues - zoning, whether they want to extend the rail line, do they want to approve a dump going in, do they want to approve a wind farm, tax credits, do we add a bike path, and how to handle the rainy day fund, that sort of thing. National issues are watered down because the splits there are regional, and locals are all in the same region. "Hey man, I hate government as much as the next guy, but we need this canal dredging project to stop floods." "WASTIN' MAH GODDAMN TAX DOLLARS ON YER PORK BARREL HANDOUTS!!!"

It refers to a dairy product distributed by the government. quote:Government cheese is processed cheese that was provided to welfare, food stamp recipients and the elderly receiving Social Security in the United States, from the 1960s through to the early 1990s. The style of cheese predated the era, having been used in military kitchens since the Second World War and in schools since as early as the 1960s. So that's not a whole new meaning, that's the original meaning.

I also got a chuckle out of his father sitting down and reading the Geneva Accords before deciding his position on Vietnam.

Paul MaudDib posted:Do you know the actual origin of the phrase "government cheese"? It refers to a dairy product distributed by the government. Yes, I do, which is why I'm referring to cheese/dairy produced and sold by a hypothetical Wisconsin Department of Cheese after the nationalization of dairy, not cheese/dairy bought in bulk and distributed by the government. But it was a dumb joke about Wisconsin secession, not an analysis of potential uses of surplus from dairy price support programs. Joementum posted:Except that in Kochisconsin, rather than handing it out, the Central Market Cheese Dispensary would sell the cheese back to the populace in exchange for gold, silver, or scrip.

Travel to and from Wisconsin became extremely limited due to constant cries to "secure the border" on both sides. Due to extremely limited funding, visas to the U.S. became extremely limited, prompting one state senator to famously quip: "In Wisconsin, you are free to do anything except leave." Edit: I thought Republicans were for small government! Surely county and municipal governments are smaller than state ones?
