Oh, oh, oh, oh sweet irony of mine!

So, yesterday we learn that for the fifth month in a row, Wisconsin has led the nation in jobs- lost AND that another large (and very profitable) company-- Thermo Fisher-- is a closing its plant in Two Rivers as part of a larger transition toward non-American labor in Mexico and elsewhere.

In the midst of this carnage, Walker has the nerve to put up an ad with "Chris" who is purportedly a small business owner that is extolling the virtues of Scott Walker's job-creatin' business utopia... that is losing more jobs than other state.

1. Republicans define "small business" as private companies with few owners...

The businesses that Republicans go on and on about are very successful, huge revenues, thousands of employees... but privately owned by one or a few partners.

I remember learning that from Lawrence O'Donnell some time ago.
