Scott Walker: How I Would Cut Washington Down to Size

From Sarah Westwood writing at the Washington Examiner:

Scott Walker is running for president hardened by four years of fighting for fiscal pragmatism and public sector reform as governor of Wisconsin.

Walker slashed wasteful spending by forming a special commission tasked with rooting out abuse, and forced the state government to publish its expenditures online.
