trickle down not working for Scott Walker in Wisconsin either!

So many folks across the nation talking about the economics of the USA-yet Walker is coming in close to top of the polls in so many of them including IOWA which is crucial for a Walker momentum win. The media talks about trump trump instead of the important things!

For 32 straight months, OH has lagged nation in job growth. Trickle down didn't work for George W--not working for Ohio. #ThanksKasich

the deficit and how we need to cut off Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and Tricare.
No matter how badly Wisconsin fails, they will easily swallow the lie that it is the Dems' fault. No matter how badly Christie has made things in New Jersey, they will just admire his bullying ways. Using logic, facts, and figures does not even register.

The Republicans control both houses of the Wisconsin State Legislature, the Governor's Mansion, and the State Supreme Court, and yet all of our problems are the fault of former Governor Jim Doyle, who has been out of office for over four years, and Obama.

The stupid is very strong with many Wisconsin voters.

By the way, trickle down economics are working exactly as they were designed to.
A complete win for the tricklers.
We apply economic stimulus to the upper tier(s) via fire hose; and economic stimulus is applied to the vast majority of us via old man urine stream. Just like they said it would. To be fair, at the time the strength of the projected stream was described as more "healthy Frat-boy kegger" type.
