lol these clowns:
Walker credits Act 10 in part for the decline in Wisconsin’s unemployment rate since he took office in 2011 and has said he considers right-to-work “one more arrow in that quiver” for the creation of jobs. But since 2011, the state has fallen to 40th out of the 50 states in job growth and 42nd in wage growth, according to an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data conducted by The Capital Times of Wisconsin. Act 10, officially called the Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill, was supposed to fix persistent budget shortfalls by lowering labor costs and eliminating union rules. But Wisconsin’s two-year projected budget deficit has actually increased; in May, the Legislature approved a $250 million cut to the state’s prized university system to help close the gap. Wisconsin is now among the top 10 states people move out of.

the walker/GOP strategy is to do things that will raise the deficit, then cut spending on social programs, education, etc. and claim their hands were forced b/c deficits!

x-posts: Isn't it pretty precisely what Naomi Klein called 'The Shock Doctrine'? It's played out all over Europe as well after the crisis. Neo-liberal answers to a neo-liberal made crisis. For some weird reason, has resulted in slowest recovery pretty much ever.

Roosevelt Island is already an active symbol of Nixon and George Romney eviscerating the federal housing program and leaving its masterplan incomplete for decades, only for private enterprise to step in with market rate crap in the Bush era. Too complicated. On the other hand it means you get an okay stretch of Manhattan as a backdrop.

Back in the 1980s Oregon's governor was a nice, but very drab fellow named Victor Atiyeh. Of course, his re-election lawn signs and bumper stickers all read: Atiyeh!As if his very name conjured up uncontrollable excitement. Jeb is reminiscent of Vic.

lol if Fox is having to create a second debate just so you can get on tv, you probably aren't going to win anything. Have some self respect, candidates!
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 June 2015 15:09 (nine years ago) link
maybe it'll be like the premier league and the best of the second tier debaters will win the right to ascend to the first group
― legendary wireless executive (Karl Malone), Monday, 15 June 2015 15:14 (nine years ago) link
but no one, including the candidates themselves, will know who will rise to the top tier until the host of the debate gives them a rose
