The only Austerity that works is in their brain

Sadly that fucks up the rest of us even more.
Gov. Scott Walker has repeatedly assured Wisconsinites that his assaults on local democracy, public services, public education and collective bargaining rights would create jobs and prosperity.

In contrast, the governor has argued, the decision of Illinois officials to tackle budget challenges with fair tax policies, respect for public employees and efforts to maintain services would cause doom and gloom for that state.

The Illinois comparison has been a constant in Walker’s speeches, media appearances and press releases since January.
And you can surely guess how that has actually worked out in ...BUM BUM BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...reality:
The October jobs figures for the United States were just released. Illinois led the nation in job creation, adding 30,000 new jobs.

And what about Wisconsin?

Under Walker, Wisconsin now leads the nation in job losses. In fact, of the states that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics described as experiencing “statistically significant unemployment changes” in October, only one actually lost jobs: Wisconsin.

Wisconsin lost 9,700 jobs in October, almost all of them in the private sector.
Good job you illiterate boob.

Oh, it was never about "austerity" actually working. It was about turning the state over to reactionaries like the Koch brothers.

With even a smidgen of luck, Walker's days as Milwaukee County executive will be back to haunt him in the form of multiple indictments.

He deserves nothing less.

of course he could have gotten confused... even many of our publications can't tell the difference... from the Gawker article linked in the post below:

Fab scoop, really. What other exclusives are headed are way from Tuckertron & Co.? They should try to see if maybe — and this could be a stretch — maybe Obama took the phrase "audacity of hope" from Jeremiah Wright. It's worth checking out, right?

hint to folks writing for publication, spell check is NOT an editor. And also, go back to elementary school and learn English.

His goal was for his donors to pay less taxes, so it was a success. Everything else is window dressing.
