Wisconsin GOP Blames Governor for Global Recession! Is the Media Going to Challenge Them?

As I've mentioned before, the Wisconsin Republican Party likes to blame our governor for the economic recession, lost jobs and manufacturing. I know, it's crazy to everyone but their base, but that doesn't stop them from trying anything at this point. At WaxingAmerica.com, former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin said what I was thinking quite well:
The right-wing chatter boxes continue to provide flawed analysis about the national and Wisconsin economy.

They ignore the fact that the U.S. economy was permanently and critically altered by NAFTA and other trade agreements that allowed $2.00 a day workers to replace American workers. They miss the point that a nation cannot engage in two wars at a cost of billions of dollars a week which do little to contribute to the productivity of the country.

When we look at the depth and breath of this depression, the worst economic crisis facing the nation since the 1930's, it is beyond fascination to see these extremists demanding the economy they destroyed be repaired in a year.
