Look at the latest recession in Great Britain caused by the Conservative government’s austerity budget.<br /><br />Walker and the Republicans cut the take home pay of state public employees. He cut state funding to school districts forcing job cuts. The trickle down of these budget cuts meant less spending in local communities at restaurants and retail. That trickles down further into fewer jobs in Wisconsin.<br /><br />Government spending does stimulate the economy. Cutting government spending contracts the economy and eliminates jobs. <br /><br />Wisconsin sees the results of Walker’s policies with the jump in the state’s unemployment rate.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-45497112086076848872013-03-15T05:25:53.091-05:002013-03-15T05:25:53.091-05:00Republicans cannot govern without lying.

The right wing echo chamber claims that the 47% are all dependent on government welfare. They ignored who these Americans really are. They are seniors on Social Security. Soldiers in combat zones. Millionaires who game tax laws. Working poor. Very few are actually on welfare. So when Romney was recorded parroting the right wing mythology about the 47%, and the media explored who they actually are, Romney’s campaign imploded.<br /><br />Scott Walker is following the Republican modus operandi of lying. His base believes him. But most of the rest of Wisconsin’s citizens will see through his lies as the state unemployment rate rises while he claims job creation.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
