Scott Walker writes Urinal/Sentinel opinion piece...everything is Wonderful!!!
http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/119634124.html


<snip>
During our first 100 days, helping create a better environment for job creation has been our primary goal. And I'm pleased we already have passed (with Democratic, independent and Republican support) some of the most positive pro-jobs legislation in the country.

Improving the economy is a mission we all can embrace. There are not Republican jobs or Democratic jobs in our state, only Wisconsin jobs.

Since Jan. 3, we removed a major barrier to affordable health care for small businesses, workers and family farmers. We enacted reforms that stop lawsuit abuse and found ways to cut red tape for job creators

Blog comments are better...

"What a joke! The man is delusional. The state is a chaotic mess. Scott...get real. "


"I have yet to find a business owner who caters to the middle class that has
found the Walker tax cuts for billionaires have helped them. But this is
easily explainable since I don't personally know any billionaires.

Raiding jobs from over the border in order to give them a tax cut is not
going to help anyone. It not only hurts Illinois, but since they get tax
forgiveness or grants here it hurts the middle class. These are not
Wisconsinites getting jobs. These are Illinois workers crossing the border
to keep their jobs.

This is not job creation. It is political piracy. "



"Dear Mr. Walker,

Since you took office, Wisconsin is underperforming the rest of the country. Wake up and smell the coffee.

And to answer your question, no, we do not want to be "just like Indiana." Indiana's unemployment rate is higher than Wisconsin's.

Good day. "

1. Isn't there a running list of the number of jobs Walker has cost WI?
I seem to remember it was in the thousands already.

2. Some of the comments
are pretty brutal. I'm thinking if the election were today, he'd lose huge.
