With this State already in the Gutter, Failed Gov. Scott Walker Trolls The Obama Economy

[riversedge]

The man is just beyond belief some days. He has been the GOV for over 4 years and our economy is in the pits and yet he has the gall to blast out at our nation's economy (and Obama).

.......The probable Republican presidential hopeful trolled the President’s economy by tweeting, “Q1 GDP growth at 0.2%: Americans deserve better. We need our leaders to promote pro-growth economic policies. – SKW”

Ah yes, nothing says real leadership like total failure. Why put up with record job growth when you can have a Wisconsin fail sandwich?

Maybe Walker’s feelings are still hurt. In 2014, while campaigning for Walker’s rival, Democrat Mary Burke, President Obama touted the growth in new jobs nationally and hit Walker in his weak spot, “Here’s the problem, Wisconsin lags the rest of the country when it comes to job growth.”

Ouch.

To be fair, Walker knows economic growth. After all, in 2013 he took take Wisconsin to 49th in the nation, leading in economic contraction with negative numbers — Wisconsin was second to last with an index of -.74%. Forbes named Walker’s Wisconsin one of the worst states for business in 2012. Coming in so deep in the hole compared to the rest of the nation isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement for Scott Walker’s Koch brothers economy — the one where the regular people pay more while Walker deregulates and subsidizes big business.

Scott Walker has done everything he can to cook the books, including changing the way the numbers are used so as to skew them in his favor and now that he’s on the national stage, he’s taken to blaming state Democrats for his economic failures. In fact, just today PolitiFact rated his claim that Wisconsin Democrats “for many years” controlled both legislative chambers and the governorship before 2011 as “False”, rubbing some salt in Walker’s wounds as he tried to escape his legacy of fail by noting, “Walker, though, is now in year five with Republicans gripping all three levers of authority at the Capitol.”

1. Walker has a weak record to run on

[riversedge]

3. He literally makes stuff up and/or just flips the stats

upside down to make them true. The national media really has not started to vet him yet. A few things here and there but for the most part no!

[Still In Wisconsin]

2. Scott Kevin Walker: a heaping helping of FAIL.

FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL.
