Walker Discounts 500 thousand uninsured and Stimulus Job Creation


I was fascinated two bits of horrific information that would have normally derailed any other candidates run for governor. The exception is Scott Walker's surreal quest for power. From Eye on Wisconisn:

Walker was talking specifically about health care reform and said that there was no need for change because "only" 8 to 9 percent of the population lack health insurance. Well, apparently in Walker's Wisconsin we can just discard those 500,000 plus people.

I'm just wondering why Walker and Neumann didn't take the opportunity to explain why the stimulus money that was recently awarded for a major biofuel project in Park Falls, was a bad thing.

The private company receiving the help said in an announcement that the stimulus money would help "…create permanent, high-skilled operating jobs in the region, long-term logging jobs, and short-term engineering and construction jobs…"

It seems like it would have been a perfect time for Walker to explain why those long term jobs were not actually helping "real people."
