This recall was started because of, and should still be about Act 10. The reason it is not about ACT 10 anymore is because of the WILD SUCCESS ACT 10 has become.
I wont talk about that now though, I will talk about what THEY want it to be about now. Jobs.
Ever since almost everything Scott Walker touches has turned into Gold, the dems had to find something. They chose our jobs numbers. They claimed that within Walkers first year WI lost 30k jobs. Sure that sounds bad, especially because Walker ran with the slogan, 'WI is open for business.'
It was good ammunition for the other side. They have been building up the entire campaign around our jobs decline. Even though he was being recalled for ACT 10. The decline hype was bouncing around for a while until the the official report was released. The official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report revised our 30k loss to a 23k jobs gain in WI.
AWKWARD!
That awkward moment when your whole campaign blows up in your face |
Of course dems cannot ever admit to facts or being wrong about ANYTHING.
Barrett has even accused Walker of "cooking the books" and trying to spin the numbers to his advantage.
WTF?!?!?!? How can Walker cook the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report.Georgia Maxwell, the department's executive assistant, has even said,"You have my personal assurance that is not a made-up number."
I have even heard people try and say it was illegal for him to release the report 3 weeks early.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok so lets play a game. Lets pretend somehow Walker faked the jobs numbers. The state really lost that many jobs. Why is this a reason to recall Walker? Also, and more importantly, how has his policy changes directly impacted business to make them leave??? How can we tie the things Scott Walker did to those "job losses"?
The only thing that he did that affected anyone outside of the government, is lower taxes.
This is not a challenge, but a plea to whoever reads this before Tuesday. Explain why the jobs numbers are "cooked", why it was "illegal" for him to tell us about them, and most importantly, how Walkers policy changes in the first year of Governor caused this "jobs decline".
From someone on the outside, of WI that is, looking in, this race has been extremely confusing. I've asked myself what the heck this was all about a minimum of 10x daily! (Slight hyperbole intended) But this is all great news and if the polls prove to be true it looks like Walker will get the chance to continue to create jobs! Mazel Tov!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping conservative voters do not become complacent. It is ours to lose.
