I guess he was right, you really don't need collective bargaining to get a good salary. :p
If You Give Walker Enough Money, You Too Could Get an 80K Job For For Kid

Worried about your children not being able to find work in today's right economy? Well, have no fear. As one Wisconsin political donor is learning, all it takes to find your unqualified child the right position is a properly sized campaign contribution.
ThinkProgress reports:
Today, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reveals that Walker is using state funds to pay more than $81,500 a year to the 26-year-old son of a major campaign donor with no college degree and two drunken-driving convictions.
Despite having almost no management experience, UW Madison college dropout Brian Deschane now oversees state environmental and regulatory issues and manages dozens of Commerce Department employees. After only two months on the job, Deschane has already received a 26 percent pay raise and a promotion.
So how much does it cost to get your son a cushy management level salary? Brian's dad's PAC allegedly donated $29,000 to Walker and his running mate, and the members of the trade group together gave an additional $92,000.
Next time, maybe it would be cheaper to just give the money straight to the son, but after all, give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Get him a high paying job through political patronage and he'll eat until the governor eventually gets around to cutting every government employee's wages, and not just the union members he doesn't like.
