Did anyone else happen to notice that "Republican" Wisconsin's unemployment rate is still lower than any of the Democrat states mentioned in the article? California may be generating more fabulous part-time mcJobs right now but they're still far worse off overall in terms of the employment rate.

I would find it interesting if someone could find a link that lists unemployment rates on a county by county basis for Wisconsin.

He said those jobs would be there by December of 2014.

There is this thing called a calendar. Go to Wal Mart in the morning and buy one. You will see that it is currently March of 2013.

December of 2014 is in the future.

Here you are. Notice the high unemployment rate for Rock county, where Paul Ryan is from.

Not a fair comparison. Wisconsin did hot have a huge housing bubble. That is why California is in the tank.

Maybe Walker should buy a calender so he can see what little time he has left to bring those 250,000 jobs to WI.

Job Growth by State | Department of Numbers

Facts are the bane of the right wing nut job. FACT: California is creating in the neighborhood of about half of all the new jobs created in the country and most of them are not "McJobs" (as some dofus claimed) but pay much higher than the national average. To compare Wisconsin net lost jobs and while Texas is growing it is only producing about 1/4 as many jobs as California and most of those pay well less than the national average.

Facts and reality just aren't on the side of conservatives.

I posted this link earlier in the thread.

If you scroll to the lower part of the page, some counties are listed.

Obama could not have saved Janesville GM plant. It closed before he took office.

Wisconsin ranks 24th.

Could be better.

Walker has been too busy writing his "memoirs" for a book to bother with helping WI! Walker thinks he is the new right-winger rock star and everyone will be thrilled to read all about Walker. Walker is a lot like Palin!

News that Gov. Scott Walker is working on a memoir about his brief but tumultuous tenure as governor sent plenty of tongues wagging about whether the move was another sign he is mulling a possible presidential run in 2016.
