My apologizes to those in Wisconsin affected by this tyranny, I understand and sympathize that it is no small thing to you. That being said, The Koch bros are using WI as a test market for the rest of the country.

The new jobs indicated by the drop in the unemployment rate are temp jobs that end after x-mas.
I wonder what the unemployment rate among AAs is? It has to be horrendous.
