Gov. Walker's State of the State Light on Details

While Governor Walker’s State of the State Tuesday night was full of theatrics and talking points, it was light on details. 

The facts are that under Gov. Walker’s leadership Wisconsin is slipping further and further away from strengthening the middle class by creating good, family-sustaining jobs.  Gov. Walker promised to create 250,000 jobs during his first term as Governor.  At the halfway point of his goal, a mere 37,000 jobs have been created, less than 15% of his target.

This isn’t good enough.  There are steps we can take together to create jobs and get Wisconsin back on track.  We need to get workers back on the job by investing in training programs that supply manufacturers with properly trained workers.  We need to boost our infrastructure in order to compete in the global economy, not mangle train deals and refuse federal funding for high-speed rail initiatives. 

Gov. Walker talks about a balanced budget, but he balanced the budget on the backs of workers and at the expense of the middle class by attacking public employee’s rights to collective bargaining and drastically cutting funding for schools and health care programs. 

Recklessly, Gov. Walker enacted the biggest cuts to public education in state history, cut $500 million from health care programs that help children, families and seniors and froze enrollment and created waiting lists for the FamilyCare program that helps senior and persons with disabilities get the care they need so that they can remain in their homes.  

At the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO we hope the new legislative session brings politicians together to create good, family-supporting jobs for Wisconsin families.  This new year, let’s put the partisan politics and political games aside and put the middle class families of Wisconsin first.

Sure with Walker would get his priorities straight.

He sure has done a number to our wonderful number on our arts programs here in the state.

Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to create a really good article... but what can I say... I hesitate a whole lot and don't manage to get nearly anything done.

Another option would be to transfer your balance to a credit card because it charges lower rates of interest. There are many special deals about �balance transfer.

Well, I totally agree that He is doing well but not good enough.He is supposed to do what he had said: to create more jobs.He's very far from what he had promised of creating 250,000 jobs.Good but not good enough.
