Is Gov. Walker making the Wisconsin Economy Worse

[FreakinDJ]

Thus governments strained their muscles to balance their budgets--thus further depressing demand--and to reduce wages and prices--in order to restore "competitiveness" and balance to their economies. In Germany the Chancellor--the Prime Minister--Heinrich Bruening decreed a ten percent cut in prices, and a ten to fifteen percent cut in wages. But every step taken in pursuit of financial orthodoxy made matters worse.

There are many many factors in play here but what we do know is the RATpubliCON Economic Policies (Hooverism) has failed repeatedly in the past. Downward pressure on wages in the past has only resulted in exacerbating the economic recessions.

1. Would have helped a whole bunch if he hadn't given our

tax dollars to some corporations.

2. If the high speed rail

were running, Milwaukee to Madison, can you imagine the increased turnout?

That really would have been a good thing. Good for both cities. RIP

3. He's only been in office a short time but he seems to be a

true and total asshole who answers to the Koch billionaires. Someone in that state should demand a recall or impeachment of that prick.

4. They can't recall him yet

He has to be in office for one full year before he can be recalled...I would assume all y'all in Wisconsin have your calendars marked.
