By the end of this month, the Supreme Court will have rendered its verdict on whether President Obama’s signature health care law will live on, and if so, in what form.

His name: Scott Walker.
Meanwhile would-be Republican governors around the country campaign to be ‘the next Scott Walker‘ or as one New Hampshirite puts it, “Scott Walker on steroids.”
When the Supreme Court decides the fate of the Health Care law, it will also be deciding the future of the federal budget.
