I’ll get straight to the point — Gov. Scott Walker is a failure.

Walker has ripped the social fabric of this state apart, eviscerated safeguards for the environment, cut public education and trampled on the rights of public workers, all in the name of creating jobs and cutting the deficit.

What he has done to Wisconsin would be wrong even if we had the 250,000 more jobs he promised and the deficit was zero. But instead of creating jobs and getting rid of the deficit, Walker has done just the opposite — he’s creating a deficit and he’s been getting rid of jobs.

Look at his record on jobs: Everything that should be up is down and everything that should be down is up. Walker’s Wisconsin is close to the bottom nationally in job creation. We’re all the way down to 44th in job creation compared to other states. That compares to 11th when Walker took office. Additionally, we’re dead last among Midwestern states. We do only slightly better in personal income growth under Walker — in that category, we’re 41st out of the 50 states.

Wisconsin’s unemployment rate rose sharply over the last three months even though it is falling nationally. Now, Walker has achieved perfection of a sort. Every single one of the state’s 72 Wisconsin counties showed an increase in unemployment, as did all 12 of the state’s metropolitan statistical areas. In fact, Wisconsin’s job situation has been worse than the U.S. average in every single month since he’s been in office.

1. When you list the failures i.e.: losing 50 million in loans, sending 800 million dollars worth of

federal dollars for construction jobs dealing with the high speed rail, divide and conquer the state and turn us into a right to work it is clear that Walker should already have flunked out of the gov's. mansion....

2. Keep up the "good work", Scotty--you're goin' down!

and I'm going to be helping you--not to cushion your fall, but to accelerate it.

you evil wet turd-smear........

3. Spencer's got it wrong. Walker has been a huge success.

He was elected by the Koch brothers and other corporations to cause higher unemployment in order to suppress wages and it's working.

7. Right, except his job has also been to facilitate the stealing of public assets, Parks and such

5. what`s really ironic is.....

a illinois right wing think tank i read and comment on at facebook thinks walker is the cat`s meow.they love what he is doing in wisconsin and hope that someone will do the same here. i guess there really is no fixing stupid!

6. You mean by stealing illinois jobs... hah, luring IL business across the border with incentives.

He certainly isn't creating new jobs in Wisconsin.

I don't think he's going to run again because he will lose... and he wants to to keep favor with those Illinois conservatives because he thinks he has a shot at "Prez".

He made mention he "might" to go into the private sector and not run next go round a while back.
