  1. This just goes to show that the Democrats really care about this state.
    This bill will actually put people to work.
    They could just let the republicans crash and burn using their proven failed policies.

  2. I understand one bill proposed by the Democrats is to send businesses to Hogwarts to get wands to magically create jobs (that's where Dems think they come from).

  3. But wait. Scooter has had a "laser like focus on jobs" (his words, not mine) for the last two years, right? Why do the Dems need to get involved now?

  4. Weird, Democrats want to spend money but can't explain how much they want to spend?

  6. The repub "jobs program" is WEDC - they figure that state bureaucrats can do a better job at venture capital than the pros. The U.S. venture capital industry is one of the wonders of the financial world, with a half century record of funding every decent idea out there and some not so decent ones. To think that bureaucrats can do better than Warren Buffet on down, the most seasoned pros on the planet, is rediculous.

    Not to mention that the "business savy" repubs set up WEDC with no financial reporting, no auditing, no transparency, and no oversight of any sort and then they're surprised when $13 million of our money simply "goes missing". Man, that just reeks of corruption.

  7. "Matching grants"?? Hire more government employees to provide job training? If the Republicans proposed "matching grants" and tax credits for The Evil Iron Mine, these same Democrats would be howling to high heaven! Any sort of "jobs" program proposed by the current WI Left can't really be taken too seriously.
