Wisconsin Surplus Deal Stalls

Wisconsin’s Senate is deadlocked over a $1.8 billion surplus plan that could deliver tax breaks, boost schools, and ease household costs—but it’s stalled after all 15 Democrats voted no, despite 15 out of 18 Republicans backing it. Majority Leader’s pushing for just two GOP holdouts to flip votes, citing an 80% voter approval poll. Democrats warn it’ll create a $3 billion deficit later, pushing instead for cost-cutting and affordability measures. Meanwhile, the nation’s economy shows mixed signals: inflation up, jobs strong, stocks soaring—but consumer confidence lagging, revealing a gap between Wall Street’s optimism and everyday worries. The fate of the bill—and Wisconsin families—rests with those two undecided senators. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
