My understanding is that the big disagreements holding up the Wisconsin budget are huge cuts to education that Walker wants and the legislature does not. Walker wants to borrow a huge sum of money for road and bridge repair and the legislature also disagrees with that.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin lost more jobs in May than any other state, over 8,000 jobs lost. Wisconsin has lagged behind since 2011 at about half the national average for job growth. Their unemployment rate is almost a point below the national average, but not enough to account for that low percentage of job production.

Mix in with that opposition from the GOP over what many of them view as this being an “unfunded mandate,” more borrow-and-spend, and the issue of taxpayer dollars paying for a big chunk of the proposed stadium.

Thanks!

And friends, avoid buying anything that you don't really need. Frequently study and build projects to become more self-sufficient, stealthy and tactical. Frequently study and practice manufacturing a necessity as a hobby for now. The B. will soon be wounded. Starve the B. After that is accomplished (after the bond collapse and all of the repudiations of debt), ladies and gentlemen (real makers), start your production engines.

——are huge cuts to education that Walker wants

Either lying or ignorant here.

Walker did propose education cuts, the legislature has restored them and added an increase. That is not part of what is holding up the budget.

-—Their unemployment rate is almost a point below the national average, but not enough to account for that low percentage of job production.

you knew I was coming to your party. Wisconsin’s unemployment rate is 4.4 percent!!! That is below the accepted level for full employment

So it IS enough to account for job production numbers that are not as great as states that suffered more in the Obama depression.

Highlights of today’s BLS release of Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) through the fourth quarter of 2014 include:

——Wisconsin ranked 16th highest in the number of manufacturing jobs gained during the 12-month period ending in December 2014.
-——A 6.4 percent gain in construction jobs (+6,158), reflecting the sector’s highest fourth-quarter annual growth rate since at least 2002.
——Total private-sector wages increased by 4.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 over the same quarter in 2013.
