IMHO this was not about who spent the most money but rather a harbinger of things to come. Voters have seized up the issue of "entitlements" whether that be for corporate America via bailouts, etc. individuals who continue to live on the dole and public unions that have over capitalized at taxpayers expense. Voters are quite aware that we face the same problems as Greece, Italy Spain Potrugal, etc if we continue down the road of economic irresponsibility. voters know Congress won't do it unless they receive a serious warning. Wisconsin results was one such notice and as momentum increases, and it will, the narrative will become more focused concerning financial responsibilities by all of us.
