But...of...course

Funny how that always seems to happen and it seems not to register with our overlords who are determined to crush us:

...turns out that Wisconsin was the only state in the entire country to lose jobs in 2011, while Illinois had better than average growth. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia also predicted strong economic growth in Illinois, while placing Wisconsin last in its forecast
Neighboring states, Illinois did not try to kill its unions, raised taxes on the wealthy and refused to engage in austerity. Wisconsin did the opposite.

Our overlords are OK with getting poorer, as long as us peasants are getting poorer and more powerless at an even greater rate.
