Scott Walker is an extremist. He wants the presidency, but, he is running to attempt to raise his political capital.

The one way to have a place holder politically is to run for President. The reason Paul Ryan is still in office is because he was running with Romney.

Wisconsin is not in good condition. I thought everyone knew that. 


This is from the right wing's Wall Street Journal.

Over the past decade, (click here) Wisconsin has mostly ranked in the middle of all states for employment growth. Among Midwestern states, Wisconsin was once among the leaders, but in recent years that trend has changed. How states rank in percent change of private-sector employees for the second quarter ending in June each year:...

This is what happens when a politician pleases his political funders, but destroys the Middle Class. I don't care where anyone looks to justify the very hostile domestic policy in the USA of destroying unions, the economy falters and it ultimately fails. The Middle Class is vital to any community in the USA.

Scott Walker turned against the people of Wisconsin and is pandering now to cronies. It happens every time. An economy needs consumers. If all the consumers in Wisconsin finds themselves working for Wall Street superstores without a good wage where is the economy going? It will be a subsistence economy and the ONLY growth once gets is with increase in population.

Money bought Scott Walker and office as Governor. That doesn't mean he is the best qualified. 

If this is news to Scott Walker, he and his legislature hasn't bothered to realize their extremely poor governing and policies. This can't possibly be news to Scott Walker.

The Red State Midwest Governors have been using faux facts in their political rhetoric. This graph is good news for people like Pence, because, he can say his policies have excelled about Walkers. But, it isn't like Pence is doing a good job either.

Gov. Mike Pence (click here) announced a major leadership shakeup at the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles on the same day that the troubled agency revealed yet another $2 million in mistaken taxes and fees.
BMV Commissioner Don Snemis will be replaced by Kent Abernathy, now chief of staff at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Snemis will take a new position as special counsel for program integrity at the state's Family and Social Services Administration.
The leadership change came as the BMV acknowledged overcharging nearly 30,000 customers a total of about $2 million over six years. The mistaken charges involved delinquent fees for mobile and manufactured home titles, reinstatement fees paid by people who later proved they had insurance and other miscellaneous taxes and fees.
The BMV plans to issue refunds or credits to affected customers....

This is a clear warning sign about Pence. Any state in the country derives income from it's motor vehicle division. How this happened knowing that agency has the state's back when it comes to the budget is anyone's guess. These Republican governors cut staff in order to score with their electorate and then corruption occurs. The Republicans do not have a good governance model. They simply don't.
