Yes - yes you did state that EXACTLY via your reply below.
Perhaps just weakness of electronic communication. Thanks for clearing it up.

No, I don't believe it to be true regardless of party. I've not seen evidence of that.

So one legitimate source, and that ranking appears to be (from the brief) based on a state economic surplus that doesn't hold any water. It was from 2013 and the number didn't hold true, and don't currently hold true. Can't hold that against them, but state budget isn't the real indicator of a state's economic health or competitiveness.

Oh well.

You make my point.
I am not arguing these are valid statistics. Just like yours, they come from sources with AGENDAS.

Reread my posts dude. I am not defending Walker in this particular discussion with you.
What I am attempting to do is advise you to consider sources of information you use as "fact."
Quoting statistics is like debating how many angels are on the head of a pin.
Many "statistics" are created by agenda driven ideologues.

I await your next "Walker hatred" rebuttal.

Back on point - WI is a nice place, even better now with current government leadership.

  • Summerfest
  • Brats & Cheese everywhere
  • PACKERS
  • # of Road Racing tracks within driving distance
  • Friday fish frys

Things I won't miss:
  • Winter
  • Milwaukee County property taxes
  • Lack of tech investment, opportunity
  • Jacked up trucks
  • People who call their snowmobiles "sleds"
  • How my cars smell of manure when I get back from a cross-state road trip.
  • Snow tires
  • Scraping ice
  • Being close to Chicago
  • FIBs
  • FISH TUBs



I'm now realizing the majority of my gripes are Chicago/food related...
All my gripes of Wisconsin are because of Chicago.

Michael's in Madison is also awesome Kopps is my number one though.

Detroit has been in Democratic hands since 1962. Look at the outcome there.
