Scott Walker breaks from Romney, says teachers and firefighters arent big government | On Friday, Mitt Romney said the message of the recall election in Wisconsin was that Americans didnt want more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Appearing on CBS Face The Nation today, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said he disagreed with Romney, saying teachers and firefighters arent what I think of when I think of big government.
