The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the good news about the national economy improving, except for states like Wisconsin, who have charlatans like Scott Walker at the helm. Earlier in the year, Walker had touted that there was job growth in the state, except he forgot one basic fact. It was jobs created during the Doyle Administration that he was bragging were his creation.
Representative Peter Barca, the state Assembly Democratic leader, issued a press release regarding the alarming news that shows that the Koch Brothers/Fitzwalkerstan Agenda is a failure:
“The United States as a whole has been adding jobs for 14 months. Last month the majority of states added jobs, while Wisconsin continued to hemorrhage jobs as it has since the budget – Gov. Walker’s economic plan – passed.
“For the second month in a row, Wisconsin led the nation in job losses. And the latest response from the governor and his administration has been to complain about the methodology.
“Other states continue to benefit from ongoing national job gains. Unfortunately, instead of regaining ground that’s been lost every month since passage of this Governor’s economic plan, Wisconsin lost another 14,600 jobs in November.
“The monthly figures were used by the governor to boast at a press conference in June when they showed gains, primarily in tourism, before his budget passed. Since that plan took effect in July, the numbers have fallen every month.
“It is time for restoring our state’s leadership in education and job training to become a higher priority than time devoted to fundraising and legislation written by and for special interests.”

The usual suspects will blame Obama or the unions or the poor children or whatever the right-wing echo chamber tells them to think, but it’s glaringly obvious that Walker’s agenda is not working. Nationally, Walker is an embarrassment to Wisconsin. Recalling him and Kleefisch is the only way to change the direction the state is in.
