Forbes: Walker Magically Turns Dismal WI Job Numbers Into A Pre-Election Miracle!

With Wisconsin suffering the worst job loss numbers in the nation for the calendar year, Governor Scott Walker promised yesterday that he will reveal newly revised numbers this week that will, effectively, change water into wine on the Wisconsin job front.

And he’s done it just in time for the June 5th recall election.

So, just how is Walker about to turn Wisconsin’s dismal job numbers from lemons to lemonade?

The Governor has simply decided to ignore the system used by the Department of Labor —and every other state in the nation —to measure job growth (or loss) and elected instead to go with a different set of numbers that makes things in Wisconsin look better.

You know things are bad when even Forbes is going WTF at you.

2. He is a disgrace to the name "Scott Walker"

Now I think of this idiot too often when trying to listen to the real SW's music.

3. I'm not from Wisconsin

but has it always been this bad? Between Wisonsin and Michigan post-2010 midterms, some scary stuff is going down in these two states in regards to corruption and subversion of democracy. Hope people who didn't vote in the midterms realize how consequential even midterm elections can be.
