"CA announces soaring budget deficit": big cuts to ed w/out reforms, sales & income tax increases... lat.ms/IS58Lo
— Governor Walker (@GovWalker) May 14, 2012
Remember when Mitt Romney said the U.S. needs to be adding 500,000 jobs a month, but it turns out that kind of job growth almost never happens? This weekend, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker wrestled with his pledge to create 250,000 jobs in his state during his first term. So far, he has led the state in losing more jobs than other in the country. But if voters don't recall him next month, Governor Walker said, he could still reach his mark. From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
It appears it will be difficult for Walker to achieve his job-creation goal. Jobs data is available through March, and from this April to December 2014, Walker would have to create nearly 7,400 private-sector jobs a month, or 88,800 a year, to meet his mark.
Nothing close to that has happened over the past two decades. The most private-sector job growth came in 1994, when 72,400 jobs were added, according to average annual employment figures from the state Department of Workforce Development.
No wonder he's directing voters' attention to California this morning (tweet above).
Meanwhile, this weekend Wisconsin Republicans said they're not out to pass a law banning union shops in the state. "It just wouldn't pass," Senate Republican Leader Scott Fitzgerald told the Wisconsin State Journal. Recalls of Republicans over last year's stripping of union rights have erased the Republican majority in the chamber. They're down to a even split, with an empty seat and one GOP member who votes with Democrats on labor questions.

And I will turn into a pink elephant and fly!
Please Rachel don't put up any more tweets from Walker. It makes my stomach churn... Only for a few more weeks and then bye,bye Walker and the other 4 republicans up for recall....A great day it will be!
California is a rich state with high taxes yet is perpetually in debt. Why is that? I have never seen a good reason but for the extraction of cash by the federal government which then gives the cash to red states who in turn give it to business to locate there, sucking jobs out of California and the rest of the blue states which are all in the same situation. Gov. Schwarzenegger used to say this all the time but the situation did not improve. Now Gov. Brown is making coded references to secession:
GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN: ...and a great power can't govern itself with this kind of dysfunction. It just won't work.
BOB SCHIEFFER: So do-- do you see a way out of it?
GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN: We need some kind of decisive election, some kind of breakdown, leading to a breakthrough and that's not quite evident on the horizon yet.
Gov. Brown says things cannot go on as they are or the country will break up. This is not by accident. Brown appeared on Meet the Press and was unable to say this (or was edited), then appeared on Face the Nation where he got the message out.
"It just wouldn't pass," Senate Republican Leader Scott Fitzgerald told the Wisconsin State Journal.
'Besides, even if it DID pass, it's way too close the November elections and Wisconsin voters might remember what we did to them. '
(end sarcasm)
It would seem Gov. Walker is helping employment by hiring multiple lawyers despite denying wrongdoing. Unfortunately several of these hires are out of state workers. "On Wisconsin"!
Seems the republicans have a push me pull me agenda of "what I meant to say while saying the opposite was..."
Letter to the editor
ALEC helped pioneer some of the toughest sentencing laws on the books today, “truth in sentencing” laws. In 1995 alone, ALEC’s Truth in Sentencing Act was signed into law in twenty-five states. (Then State Rep. Scott Walker was an ALEC member when he sponsored Wisconsin’s truth-in-sentencing laws and, according to PR Watch, used its statistics to make the case for the law.) This forced Wisconsin to build new or rebuild 71 county jails 71 courthouses and dozens of prisons. This also forced Wisconsin to buy or lease several hundred halfway houses etc. This also forced Wisconsin into hiring some 30,000 plus public sector workers to work at these places. Every time Scott walker says he is for small government and talks about the budget. remember who caused the budget problems and huge government in Wisconsin. He is for small government like George Bush was. He hires millions in the name of Homeland security. Vote Conservative and for small government. Vote out Scott Walker. Can we afford his tax and waste ideals and huge government? If not for Walker and Alec Wisconsin would have tens of billions in surplus. We could get tax refunds again. Lets blame the real reason for budget problems. “Scott Walker”.
