If you believe the road to prosperity is paved with middle class job losses and poverty, you might be a Romney supporter.

If you believe that government deficit that have to be measured in scientific notation "Stimulate" the economy...well, there's no hope
 
Remember back in February, at the height of the controversy surrounding public employee unions in Wisconsin, the idea was trotted out that Governor Scott Walker’s anti-union efforts were part and parcel of a broader, bolder economic vision that would lead to growth and prosperity in the Badger State? Now one year on and with a recall election looming for Walker ironically it may be his record on job creation that does Walker more harm than his anti-union sentiments. Why, because since he took office and enacted his program “Wisconsin has lost more jobs…than any other state”, according to Craig Gilbert of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. What follows is an analysis of Scott Walker’s economic performance. The figures below are all seasonally adjusted, all charts, graphs and statistics courtesy of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Total Jobs. “In Gov. Walker’s first 13 months (using December 2010 as the baseline), the state lost 8,500 non-farm jobs. That was worst among the 50 states. Only four other states experienced a net decrease in that time. If you take the most recent 12 months — January 2011 to January 2012 – the state lost 12,500 non-farm jobs, also worst in the nation, a fact Democrats have seized on.”

How many? and what, State workers should have a job FOR LIFE?

Um...that's kind of the point of a job. You find a place to work and you stay there until you retire. Is this really a difficult concept?

No, you find a place to work and stay there until you get fired, quit, etc. No job is for life.

The "etc" being retire, right? I certainly hope nobody starts a job expecting to quit or be fired. When you take a job, it is NOT reasonable to expect to be fired...but that is exactly what happens anymore doesn't it? Guy works for a company for years...then the company fires him BEFORE he can retire. Then they hire some young guy that WILL leave and move on somewhere else before they have to pay him any kind of pension. Gotta love those private companies, huh?

So of course, since people who work in the public sector actually have some job protections, the people pissed that THEY no longer have these protections decide to "go after the unions" because they are the ones standing in the way of these angry, jealous people.

(But it's class warfare to ask the wealthy to pay their fair share)
