Walker Blames Job Losses on Recall, Says 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' for Next Jobs Report
Scott Walker sat down with WLUK's Good Day Wisconsin and was asked why Wisconsin has lost jobs for six months in a row. Walker responded with his usual irrelevent line that 'Wisconsin had lost 150K jobs in the last three years, but because he added jobs in the first six months, we're a lot better of than under Doyle.
Of course, what Walker is conveniently leaving out is that when Doyle's left office, Wisconsin was on an upward trajectory out of one the worst recesssions in our nation's history and Doyle added about 20,000 jobs in his last year in office.
Walker then went on a long riff blaming the recall effort for killing Wisconsin's economy, before the host asked about him what he was expecting in the job's report coming out this Thursday. Walker grimaced and said, "I think we're still going to see some challenges out there."
He then tried to pivot and mentioned Illinois 13 times and its supposedly horrible economy-- even though Illinois experienced more job growth last year the Wisconsin.
The "Governer" doesn't look well....
