We can stop bantering around different statistics. Bottom line is that Walker is anti-worker and firing teachers and cops doesn't help employment.
Fantastic synopsis, lets hire EVERYONE to be a teacher, and during their off time, they can fill in as police officers.. We'd will exceed maximum employment just like that!! woo hooo..
I heard this morning that 13 days into the 60 day recall petition, Wisconsin voters have collected more than half of the 540,000 signatures required for the recall.
Walker will learn the hard way that spitting all over the middle class isn't good policy. Neither is running on one agenda (jobs), then taking office and advancing a stealth agenda (demonizing teachers, cops, and firefighters) that's unpopular will shorten one's political lifespan.
But then the guy just doesn't look or sound very bright. And his state is certainly expressing some strong "buyer's remorse."
Walker is an idiot! Even though he intended to act on his "agenda" he wasn't wise enough to boil the frog slowly. Walker went ahead and screwed the pooch in public and then wonders why the outrage.

I want you to link this to reality. What policies of Walkers created an increase in the unemployed? If employment increases next month, will you flip flop into calling him a genius?
This is whats laughable about these stupid threads..
No, there is difference. One is supported voluntarily by consumers. One is supported by force by tax-payers.
Yeah, Wisconsin and all other states should just abolish every single person and entity paid for by taxpayer funding... so no education, fire or police protection, Medicare, infrastructure, parks, veteran's assistance, etc etc etc.
So that wasn't the best private sector jobs gain in a month?
These childish, whining, liberal wankers in WI are an embarrassment, "our candidate lost, boo-freaking-hoo, lets have a recall". I suppose we may as well have one year state house seats, since the libs want to hols elections every year their guys lose. There is no rational reason to hold this recall, other then the dems throwing a temper tantrum.
Translation, when the stimulus stopped, states started to create jobs.. Yes I know, which is why I opposed the stimulus.
Texas actually stopped creating jobs. There unemployment has been on the rise since the stimulus ended up to 8.4 from a post recession low of 8.0. Texas did not create a significant amount of jobs to be noted between sep. and oct. 2011. It is not so much California's job creation pace has quickened as it is that Texas has stoped job creation since almost all new jobs in Texas were public sector.

None. That is the point.

The largest over-the-month decrease in employment occurred in Wisconsin (-9,700), followed by New York (-8,300) and Minnesota (-6,100).

Got all that? Wisconsin lost the most jobs of all states in October. Illinois, the state Walker loves to hate, created the most jobs in the nation in October.
Quote:
Governor Scott Walker ran on a campaign of creating 250,000 jobs in the state before the end of 2014.
Quote:
Instead of focusing on real solutions to create jobs, though, Walker and the Republican-led legislature have spent the better part of a year destroying the social safety net, busting public-sector unions, and passing other bills favored by social conservatives but completely unrelated to creating jobs.
