Falking right it is a joke. Watching these democrats is like watching drunken monkeys, what a circus of freaks!

Tammy, I'm not sure how you arrived at that interpretation based on the article. Did you read it?

Greg, check the headline of today's MJS. Are you suggesting that that conservative paper is now in cahoots with the Democratic Party? Are you challenging the job report? Let's see your data that shows that Wisconsin is near or at the top of the scoreboard in job growth nationally, or that Walker's "reforms" are not being mirrored in multiple states by other ALEC governors. How is Walker's budget is "working" when it hasn't even fully taken effect yet. I'd also like to know how much of the public employee salary cuts have been handed over to corporations (I understand that Georgia Pacific has received quite a bit but haven't been able to nail down the amount--perhaps you have this)?

Greg, it's so easy to make statements like "let's stand together and only lie about Walker." But please back it up with some facts about what is being "lied" about and why they are "lies." Thanks,

I was commenting on the article.
I suggested nothing about any paper. I challenged no report. I presented no job data. Etc..
As for easy statements, I just quoted Obey's "Stretching facts to score points", I see this as a convoluted way of saying "lying".
What is their platform? Is it that they don't know how much Georgia Pacific got? Or is it a more mindless rant, such as ALEC, ALEC, ALEC....
If you really need a lie it probably would include something about "public employee salary cuts". Where do you get that from?

So Greg, nothing to back up your "only lie about Walker" statement? Because that's from you, not Obey.

Well let's see, Obey basically said they do not want to lie about each other so I inturn read it as they want to strech the facts only about Walker.
Bren, anything on your public employee salary cuts? That's from you.

Poor confused Bren, personal and corporate income is not a natural resource that belongs to everyone like air, water and sunshine. Rich people and successful companies pay all the taxes. When an individual or company gets to keep more of their own money it's not a tax cut, its stealing less from the people who earned it. The tax cuts Walker has initiated amount to 3 percent of the state's deficit.

So how would Barrett (D-WEAC) and Falk (D-AFSCME) have balanced the budget and eliminated the $3.6 billion deficit Scott Walker inherited from his predecessor? Both are on record saying they wouldn't ask public union employee's to sacrifice a thing so where would the savings come from?

Barack Obama has finally laid to rest the silly notion that democrats are good for the economy so how do Falk (D-AFSCME) and Barrett (D-WEAC) plan on controlling education and medicare costs without massive tax increases? Let's hear the intelligent, workable plan that Scooter missed, I'll make the popcorn.

btw, ALEC stands for free markets, limited government and individual liberty.

Gear, to what are you referring? Remember that bail-outs began with George W. Bush.

@Bren (D-WEAC)

Bailouts ≠ stimulus

I don't remember George W. Bush pushing a stimulus package, I think that came with hope and change.

George Bush basically handed out cash. Metrics came with Hope and Change. But it had to be done. If memory serves, Ronald Reagan and Amtrak was the inspiration. Amtrak is still alive and running today. So is Wall Street, GM, and Chrysler. That's a lot of jobs saved under extraordinary and adverse circumstances. We're not now trying to frame economic recovery as profligate Democratic spending, are we?

Steve, I'm not a Democrat and have absolutely nothing to do with WEAC.

Bren (D-WEAC)
keep telling yourself that. Maybe one day it will click and come true.

@Gearhead --- Republicans and Democrats BOTH supported the stimulus packages, they actually started under Bush and He Did the Right Thing !!! Thank God Obama followed Bush's lead --- we had the Great Recession and only with the actions of DC did we not have another Great Depression --- like back in 1929 when the government sat on its hands in a Laissez Faire attitude.

Metro Milwaukee lost 4,400 jobs in March, state reports
Metro Milwaukee accounted for most of the job losses in the state last month

December 2011 - 1500
November 2011 -4,700
October 2011 -2,500

►get ready to hit the ground running as soon as possible.◄ About as descriptive as Obama ran is campaign.

Barrett does not even make a good mayor, why would he be a good governor?
"Walker's next budget "bomb" drops in July, which promises to have a disastrous effect on the 2012-13 school year" WOW Bren, you sound just like Mary Bell with her moronic end of the world claims. She was dead wrong as are you. The school districts that used the reforms are all better off than before. WEA Trust got greedy and Walker closed the check book. I trust Walkers math more than I trust the unions or your math.

Barrett is the failing mayor of a failing city.

Steve, Milwaukee is Wisconsin's largest city, doesn't it make sense that job losses concentrate in that urban area? And while the economy is recovering, we can expect aftershocks for some time to come (why it was ridiculous for Walker to claim he could create 250,000 new jobs in his first term).

Greg, that's not true. I'd rather have competent financial managers review the Walker budget before the July "bomb" drops, but if that doesn't happen we'll see what happens.

I hope enough people realize the Walker talking points aren't adding up and choose a better direction in June. Some, who care only about winning and not about what's right, will continue to support the radical ALEC agenda and Scott Walker.

Nope. I could argue that it is the largest city and job growth should be the highest. Job losses are concentrated on the plight that is Milwaukee. Wonder why. Barrett couldn't even get Kohl's into the city. Why are all of the job losses only in one city? Population, nope try again.

I think of an old baseball mit.

Whichever dentist worked on Falks overbite and chiclet teeth really falked up, they look fake.

I like the way her gloved hand was shopped so it doesn't look like she was flipping off Tom Barrett.
