Scott Walker needs to lose today…

Well…just a shorty on a news article that just came across my phone…one of the idiot Scott Walker’s biggest arguments for his re election is that he lured Foxconn (the Chinese electronics manufacturer) to Wisconsin and they were going to create over 15,000 jobs for the 4.1 billion dollars in state subsidies they were given by idiot boy. Almost immediately after Walker made that commitment, as Foxconn always does, the project started to change along with the number of jobs that Foxconn promised…and over the course of the year since Walker signed the check, the jobs projected have continued to shrink…it’s now down to “around” 5,000 jobs and the integrated engineering center that Foxconn promised to build as part of the project has morphed into renting a couple of buildings to house a tiny engineering staff. The kicker in the whole thing? Foxconn has just applied to the feds to be allowed to bring in the entire engineering staff from China since they can’t “find” any qualified engineers in the US…and by “find” that means any engineers that are willing to work for the slave wages that Foxconn is willing to pay. How does that 4.1 billion subsidy look now Wisconsinites? How does that 250,000 dollar subsidy for every job look now? Walker has been able to con everyone in Wisconsin for years that he and his repub cronies are the only ones who can create jobs but, at 250,000 per job, a monkey could create these jobs…and it is not clear if any jobs will ever be created there since Foxconn has a long history of promising the moon and then delivering nothing as they slink away with the subsidy cash. Today, Wisconsin, you have the chance to send Walker packing…don’t screw it up…geez…
