Well, well - under Scott Walker, Wisconsin has bled jobs more than any other state

Quote:Wisconsin Saw The Largest Decrease In Employment In The Last 12 Months

It seems that Wisconsin (Republican) Gov. Scott Walker might have been overreaching when he promised to create 250,000 new jobs in his first term. While Walker has spent the last twelve months slashing state budgets and busting unions, Wisconsinites have been dealing with the consequences. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Walker’s state saw the largest decrease in jobs over the last year, dropping nearly a full percentage point... (Wonk stats at link)

Walker, meanwhile, told Newsmax this week that, “We ultimately saw a net increase in jobs this year.” That is incorrect, unless by ‘we’ he means a group other than Wisconsinites.

I'm trying to figure out if Romney practiced lying under Walker's tutelage or if it was the other way around.

Either way, there's no doubt that whenever either of them opens their mouths (other than in those "quiet rooms"), they are lying through their teeth.

evidence keeps stating that Wisconsin doesn't want to be like Illinois? WTF?

Wisconsin 47 in job creation, Illinois 3 in job creation.....WTF? How can any of his supposed supporters in Wisconsin not understand the facts?

Wisconsin lost 23,900 jobs between March 2011 and March 2012,

We really have to overcome the Koch brother money in Wisconsin. If Walker wins, what's the message? You can crap all over workers as long as your big money interests spread lots and lots of money around.

Hello! I lie awake at night thinking about that - just over half of "Roberts court" is a travesty for what they've unleashed on this country.

Have you settled on any of the Democratic candidates against Walker - or is there a sense now of who it will be?
