Snow Storm hits state, weather and politically, with Gov. Walker's State of the State Address.

Did Gov. Scott Walker saying anything of substance, anything about education...NO!

The state of the state speech ended abruptly, leaving the public with a "feeling of uncertainty."

The old switcheroo was an easy one; the Republicans reinforced the idea that business was suffering from a feeling of uncertainty. An idea that supports the voodoo economics of supply side.

When in fact, it was just the opposite; the public is suffering from a major feeling of uncertainty, preventing consumption and reducing demand.

Walker increased consumer uncertainty, reducing the probability businesses will expand and be hiring anytime soon.

Like Rep. Paul Ryan's outlandish 50 year wait to balance the federal books, the state Republican tax cuts will require waiting years to turn things around. Faith in their theories, failed deregulation and a Great Recession don't instill a lot of consumer "certainty."
