    Seems like just yesterday that the Insurance Journal had an article that stated the economy was improving.
    Oh, wait, it was yesterday!

    Good job, Scott Walker! Any of this have to do with your union-busting efforts?

    Captain…

    Walker’s the best thing to happen to Wi politics in years…union folks have to understand that their pay and benefit demands can’t be passed onto taxpayers forever without let up…Walker didn’t cause the recession, he simply had to keep the State from going bankrupt

    Captain…and what does private construction firms have to do with public sector unions…? yeah, it’s all Walker’s fault that noone wants to build. You sound like Barack “It’s Bush’s Fault” Obama. This great state of ours will only get better now that he’s in office.

    Dead last amongst all states in job growth. Yep, best thing ever. I think my beloved Green Bay Packers think otherwise about this disgrace of a governor. If it weren’t for an insurmountable amount of money backing this misguided individual, he’d be amongst those in WI searching for a job. I feel sorry for one of my favorite states but am thankful I don’t live there. Although, it would be nice to go to the store and actually see Spotted Cow on the shelf. You can’t get it anywhere else. Go Pack!

      Sorry Captain Planet. As a WI manufacturer, I can tell you that the misguided recall effort did more to hurt the economy in WI than all of Gov. Walker’s policies combined. Employers saw major uncertainty from a recall that never should have happened and decided to cut off investments (construction) and hiring until this mess was put in the past. WI decided that we need happy employers in the state in order to have happy employees. Things can now finally start to turn around for WI employers. That’s great news for employees. About time.
