Walker example ping!

"Facts are hard to argue with," Governor Walker of Wisconsin declared in a Heritage interview earlier this month. In the three years before his election, the Democratic State legislature and Democratic governor presided over the loss of 150,000 jobs. In Walker's first six months in office, Wisconsin added a net of 39,000 jobs, including 14,000 in manufacturing. The remainder were in agriculture, tourism, biotech and medical technology. In June, Walker earned boasting rights that half of the new jobs in the entire country -- a shocking and paltry 19,000 -- were created in his state. In the same month, Democrat Illinois next door lost 7,000 jobs. (For more on Illinois jobs, see this - ed.)

In his first six months, Governor Walker and his Republican legislature passed tort reform and regulatory reform to create a legal system that fosters economic growth instead of suffocating it. They balanced the budget and cut taxes, including freezing property taxes. To encourage business expansion, they passed a manufacturing tax credit and capital gains tax credit.

This should come as no surprise to readers here at FR...a number of us have been making these very prescriptions for years. The real issue is: Why can't those idiots in Washington not see that Socialists policies never work?

Do Republicans Ideas Lead to Job Growth?

Conservative ideas certainly do. Republican ideas do, when they are conservative.

Walker needs to school Perry on how to effectively grow jobs without resorting to cronyism and creating corporate welfare schemes on the taxpayer dime. He can also school Perry on getting out of the nanny business with EOs dictating Gardasil and how to actually reduce taxes, not just trade them around like a shell game.

Another example of Democrats falsly accusing Republicans of doing what they are ACTUALLY doing:

Obama’s cronies accuse Perry of riding on all the jobs “created” in Texas by the Porkulus plan when really it’s Obama who is riding on the backs of all the Republican Governors’ policies that are creating ALL the jobs Obama boasts about. Obama’s actions have only cost jobs just as I told all of his cool-aid drinking buddies it would. I don’t hear as much praise of him from them anymore. Their silence is solid gold to my ears. I don’t even have to say “I told you so.” But they know the words are right on the tip of my tongue.

Truth be told, if it weren’t for the Republican Governors’ policies, this would make the Great Depression look like boom-times.
