Walker delusional about job creation

He is just repeating the same old lines today.

CLEVELAND — Gov. Scott Walker said Friday that the state’s labor market is on the right path and he’s expecting to see a dramatic swing in hiring later this year, though new data shows that state is lagging behind the rest of the nation in private sector job growth.

Walker, who was at Lakeshore Technical College for a business summit, said political uncertainty stemming from the recall effort against him and Wisconsin’s skilled-labor shortage have hampered the state’s unemployment picture, though he’s confident things are turning around.

“In 2011, one of the biggest barriers was uncertainty,” Walker said. “I think a lot of employers look at that and go as much as I like how things are going, as much as I want to grow … until (the recall election) gets here, they won’t know that for sure,” Walker said.

Walker’s comments followed data released earlier this week showing that while the state unemployment rate fell to 6.9 percent in January — its lowest point since 2008 — Wisconsin has lost more jobs over the past 12 months that any other state....

Walker is just another player/participant in the pronouncement that told us that they are creating reality.

In a way, they are. They fashion and spew unimaginable fabrications from the Koch-like factories and the media chants the liturgy or what is and should be, and everyone else chases the charade as if anything presented is reasonable or of value, simply because it has to be accepted or opposed when neither option is practical or reasonable when considered from a wider, contextual perspective.

The carrot is still an effectual incentive and strong motivation for those on both sides of the fence. Just watch the ebb and flow of the news cycle here and elsewhere to see the products of the manipulations.

It will take a less myopic, zoom-in and zoom-out ability to comprehend logical levels, (from the specific to the general/abstract, and back) to work yourself out of the game. Yet, it should be becoming more obvious as it is played out, over and over.

I am optimistic that the roaches can still adapt to the bug spray and the bacteria will be able to evolve in a way that makes the antibiotics ineffective. I mean, we are ultimately, beyond the easily manipulated layer of abstract concepts, nature itself and we can all realize that at any point and within a moment of insight.

Since Congress was unable to pass the new "standards" of placement for turbines, the old rules stand. So now we may be seeing more wind energy in WI soon. Now that the Senate is tied in representation - nothing will be passed before Dems take back the Senate and Governorship...so I think we'll start picking up.

that making Obama a one term President is the GOP goal.

When Mitch and Walker are gone things have to improve!

We're so close I could almost hold my breath. (Okay, maybe not)
