The Capital Times has a story today that says everything you need to know about the total failure of Walkernomics in Wisconsin:



...going back two years, Wisconsin is No. 50 in percentage change, with an actual decline of 15,900 jobs since January 2011.

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker recently acknowledged to Wisconsin Public Radio that his promise of creating 250,000 private sector jobs by 2015 will be tough to meet. As usual, he took full responsibility for his failure by saying it was caused by his lack of planning, his ignorance of how the economy works, his divisive political style, and his preoccupation with hoarding money from out-of-state corporate donors.

Just kidding. He blames protesters, recall elections, and Obamacare.

His admission came around the same time the Republican speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly shoved Walker under a herd of Holsteins by telling attendees of a press club gathering:



“Governor Walker made that promise. Assembly Republicans — we did not make that promise.”



Walker’s public relations strategy up until recently was to embrace any government job survey that showed job growth while discrediting any survey that reported job losses. Sometimes he even flip-flopped on the same survey, depending on that month’s results.

We're number 50 in job creation! That news is so shocking that the Sta-Puf Marshmallow Man turned orange and fainted right in the middle of my diary. Hop over him to read more about Wisconsin's employment woes.
