Good article.  Walker is indeed a bureaucracy preservationist.  He is the opposite of oil company execs that look at the face of economic reality, i.e. low oil prices, and cut 30%.  Walker never got the memo about oil prices not being at $140 any more.  Probably because he's been too busy working at his gasline to nowhere project.  Walker is a poor leader, that hides behind silence.  Palin would be a lot better leader given our fiscal situation than Walker.  Yeah, she had her faults.  But she was always present and outspoken ... and never crawled under her desk and hid, like Walker does.
