The state that cut the most lost the most jobs

[Avorysuds]

These are the facts.

The states that cut the most lost the most jobs and growth.

Only a fool argues against facts

Isn't it a fact that the states that cut the most, were also in the worst economic shape generally? And isn't it a fact that the reason they were in the worst economic shape generally is because they've had a left-leaning government for decades?

Take Wisconsin for example. Yea, they've had to cut a lot, but that's because their economy over the years has been destroyed by unionization, high business taxes, and high levels of regulation that have made it a business-hostile state.

Compare that with Texas, a right to work state with low business taxes and a reasonable level of business regulation; a business-friendly state. Texas hasn't been forced to make drastic govenment cuts, because it has a healthy economy.

The liberal policies of Wisconsin's government over the years damaged Wisconsins economy, and is the root cause of Wisconsin having to lay off government employees.

The conservative policies of Texas' government over the years has helped Texas' economy, is the reason Texas has not had to lay off government employees.

The facts are, laying off (or not laying off) government employees is not the root cause of the state's economic condition. Whether the state's government has created a business-friendly or business-hostile environment is the deciding factor.

Or to put it more simply, whether the state is run by business-friendly conservatives, or business-hostile liberals is the single most important factor concering a state's economy.

Thank you.

Like I said, context. History of the problems didn't start the day a Rep too office, both paties worked at it for a very long time.

Truthdosentmatter is putting the cart before the horse. The states did not barrow money & create jobs. States that had good economies, create more jobs, collect more tax revenue & therefore can spend more.

The Bachman Party of Old Fat White People, Cavorting About Naked On Other People's Yachts--Dumping Substance And Other Treasure Into The Sea: Is not aware of the concept that, "Spending Cuts Create Spending Cuts."

Mainly, they know that the Founding Father's were nine yers old--when something happened--that they likely knew nothing about. It wasn't even on the Social Media(?), much less on TV(?)!

Bond rating service Moody's knows that $1.00 cuts in spending cuts $1.40 from GDP. Unemployment rises, and mortgage-paper holders, even go backrupt.

It takes a nine-year old: To start a Revolution!

Factually incorrect. Wisconsin's economy and budget were fine until Walker was elected and quickly passed massive cuts in taxes for businesses. Only then did Wisconsin find itself in the dire financial shape that "warranted" stripping the rights of workers. Additionally, the unions in Wisconsin AGREED to cuts in compensation in order to help balance the budget, and Walker and the GOP said no, unless worker rights were stripped as well.

Soooo, Walker getting elected all of a sudden caused a deficit? And point to a single workers right that was "stripped."

Hacks are hacks...

CHART: States That Cut The Most Spending Have Lost The Most Jobs | ThinkProgress



Relative to national economic trends, states that increased spending enjoyed on average:
• 0.2 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate
•1.4 percent increase in private employment
•0.5 percent real economic growth since the start of the recession

In contrast, states that cut spending saw on average
•1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate
•2.1 percent loss of private employment
•2.9 percent real economic contraction relative to the national economic trend

Has it occurred to you that the reason why these states spent more money may have been because they were doing better than the states that cut?

 

[Truthmatters]

Has it occured to you that cutting in the face of a bad economy doesnt help

 

[Avorysuds]

yet more lies from you.

lol.

Fact: TM just lied again!

 

[Avorysuds]

Has it occured to you that cutting in the face of a bad economy doesnt help

It worked to get us out of a Depression in 1921... It failed to spend spend spend for 12 years from 1930 on... In fact they cut and repealed many FDR spending and policies to help NOT cause a recession after the war lolz! It was only possible because FDR fucking died LOLZ! That's what it took to end the Depression, FDR dying HAHAHAHAHA! I never thought of it that way before!

More lies TM? Or you plan on rewriting history? Maybe it was all the spending that saved us from the recession... that... has, totally... fucked the country... wait! WTF is going on here lol! Did overspending help cause the recession or not lollololz?

Soooo, Walker getting elected all of a sudden caused a deficit? And point to a single workers right that was "stripped."

Again ...

Wisconsin's economy and budget were fine until Walker was elected and quickly passed massive cuts in taxes for businesses.

Workers have a right to collectively bargain. Period. Walker and his cronies went after that right.
