Wisconsin's Weather Reflects Its Economic Climate

The National Weather Service has issued a report saying that the bottom half of the state is in a "mild drought" and is currently about four inches of rain behind the norm.  It is so dry that Scott Walker has declared a drought emergency which will expedite the issuance of permits for farmers to tap into lakes and rivers to water their crops.

Meanwhile, the very top of the state has had too much rain and is suffering from severe flooding.  The flooding is bad enough that Walker has asked FEMA for help in dealing with all of the damage.

It struck me that the weather of Wisconsin is a surprisingly accurate reflection of the state's political climate.

The bottom tiers of Wisconsinites don't have enough money thanks to Walker's policies, like Act 10.  Meanwhile, the top 1% of the state has more money than they know what to do with thanks to Walker's generous tax breaks and giveaways to the ultra-rich.

And through all of it, Walker has consistently shown that he is clueless and needs help to fix the mess he's made.
