I also know that jobs were rebounding from the start of 2010 to March 2011...until Walker dropped the bomb.<br /><br /> See, in the "created reality" of dead-end losers like these guys (who apparently they lack three things I have- a real job, a girlfriend, and outside interests), Bush was never president, Walker was never Milwaukee County Executive, and Reagan never raised taxes. Fortunately, we all know better than that.<br /><br /> I also know better than to have RW trash stink up my place, so I'm moderating comments till further notice.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-80038036391594036182012-05-15T07:09:48.214-05:002012-05-15T07:09:48.214-05:00This is a good example of "creating your own ...This is a good example of "creating your own reality." Diane Hendricks being a billionaire heriress and having enough money that she can thrown $510,000 on Scott Walker while having her company pay no Wisconsin income taxes is no big deal. Having AmFam CEOs get pay increases while laying off 987 high-skill IT people? Just the way things work.<br /><br /> But when a union CEO makes $242,000 GOD FORBID!!! These people are pathetic in their cognitive dissonance.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-76570026959124707742012-05-14T21:55:20.618-05:002012-05-14T21:55:20.618-05:00Jake, are you aware of the fact that WI lost 150,0...Jake, are you aware of the fact that WI lost 150,000 jobs in the 3 years prior to Walker taking office?
