Outstanding! Of course, Wisconsin’s leftists are having a meltdown over this factory. After 8 years of accusing Governor Walker of bringing NO jobs to Wisconsin, they don’t like these jobs and are trying to use this issue against Walker in his campaign for a 3rd term. Fie on them!

For those who are unaware, unemployment in Wisconsin is now about 2.8% which means that everyone who wants a job has one. Foxconn will bring new people to the state who will buy houses and all kinds of things — spreading the wealth.

It’s time for me to remove the magnetic bumper sticker from the face of my freezer and put it back on my car — “Scott Walker is my HERO”

The 13,000 positions could be filled with local people who quit their old jobs and their old jobs could be filled by the locals who have “withdrawn” from the workforce.
