Not any, Scotty?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker during the governor's testimony Thursday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee was asked to explain how repealing collective bargaining rights for state workers is related to state debt or how requiring unions to recertify annually saves money -- one of the provisions in Walker's amended budget repair bill. When he evaded the question, the questioner tried one more time.

"How much money does it save Gov. Walker?" Kucinich demanded. "Just answer the question."

"It doesn't save any," Walker said.

"That's right. It obviously had no effect on the state budget," Kucinich replied.
