Funny how the right blames the left for the same things the left blames the right. You know what is even funnier(sadly), both are correct.

repeat, repeat, repeat.

Funny how the left fringe remains silent that the "terrible" increase in this state during that time also happened at the national level...but shhhh dosen't fit the meme to mention it.

The problem is the disagreement over who the job creators are. I think if we should take away anything from the past few years its that the 1% doesn't create jobs. When there are record numbers of people on welfare and record profits for corporations and CEOs something's wrong. If you redistribute a small amount of your rediculous profit among your employees they will then use it to buy stuff thus creating jobs. You give a multimillionaire more money and they put it in an offshore bank account which does nothing for the economy.

Hey Fear let's put the blame where it really lies and point the finger the right way at Obama and the Democrats and Walker and the Republicans because there is enough blame to go around for both parties. Because they wont work with the job creators to try and solve this problem.

Reminder...

Wisconsin was at 9.2% unemployment when Diamond Jim left the governors office, January 2011.
Yet, all we hear about for the past two years, is how terrible Walker has done.

The federal government is allowing other states to do well. I bet the Feds have something against Wisconsin.

Oh man, look at all these left wingers complain about lack of jobs. A state Governor can only do as much as the Federal Government allows. The only way this gets better is to replace the Democrats in Washington.

When you left wingers stop bankrupting California farmers over a 1 in silver fish, stop suing companies that open businesses in right to work states, stop harressing businesses in Texas because of a lizard and stop stopping mining bills over some sapping jack pines, stop giving away our money to failing solar companies (19 at last count), then you come to us about Walker.

There is a standard measure whether you and walker like it or not. If we put those lazy children and elderly into the workforce then unemployment would be 50%. Might as well. Whatever you can fabricate to prove your point.

In February there were 12 million people who said they had looked for a job without success, compared with only 155.5 million in the labor force.

If you count those discouraged workers the real unemployment rate jumps to 14.3%. Under President Obama an estimated 8.6 million jobs have been lost or eliminated from the records.

Wow - Obama 14.3% real time misery.

Politician's like Democrats and Republicans should ware a shock collar that goes off every time they tell a lie. Obama and the Democrats are just as crooked as Walker and the Republicans. Why all they care about are their wallets and not the people they represent. Food Stamps would not be necessary if the job creators would knock off the bitching and work with the politician's yo get people working again instead of the constant bickering that goes on like in the blog for example. Now if this would happen you could start to fix this economy and get people back to work. But it won't happen why because both sides continue to point fingers and play the blame game and bicker and argue. That is how you start to fix this is by listening and learning then putting into practice what you want to do. If we don't nothing will never change. And I am calling the way I see it.

The problem with the states economy is the uncertainty created by the recalls. Oh wait, that can't be it. Maybe the job creators actually were hoping the conquerer would have been removed from office.

Why worry when food stamps will save you. An all time high for food stamp use. Hope and food stamps.

Tell me again how 8% is lower than 7.8%. That's what you're saying. I think you learn this stuff in kindergarten. Just plug your ears and yell loud and you're always right.

Still keeping it below Barry's jobless average. It is working.

http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/dwd/newsrelease...

The National average went from 7.7% to 8.2%.

Can the left deny Obama is a failure and his disrespect of the Constitution and States Rights are hurting every state?

It's working!!!

The writer, who refers to themselves as a "sconnie", is hardly a believable source. Your website is a progressive blog site.

Typical right wing clueless to blame the left This is a Walker problem and to continue to blame The good guy is just another act of denial by a select few that will never admit their party is the Failing one. Among individual cities, Janesville's rate of 9.9 percent was the 10th highest in the state. At 12.5 percent, Beloit was the second highest behind Racine's rate of 13.3 percent. Now if those that cannot see that Wisconsin has a problem, and need to really accept that SCOOTER is the problem... Fact, the Nation is bouncing back, {Well not us here in Walkergate}, Wislady what shape was this Country in when Bush left??? Also my dear Wisconsin was not in the red when Doyle left PLEASE RESEARCH your blatant lying on truthful sites and links. http://bdgrdemocracy.wordpress.com/2012/...

I believe that sometimes the comparison is of figures that are not "adjusted" vs ACTUAL numbers. Where is the headline for the adjustment made by the FEDS, where they posted numbers that were 57,000 off (again)? The Feds like to play with the numbers, we see it every week when they release the national job numbers. They are always adjusted the next week....UP (except when they are talking about Wisconsin).

The March 16 article in the Madison papers didn't get much press, mostly because it showed Wisconsin was creating jobs.

"Nationally, the benchmarking adjustment announced Thursday was 0.3 percent and it’s unclear why it was so much higher for Wisconsin. BLS officials contacted by The Capital Times on Friday declined to speculate on that question"

"You wonder why you are Darlene to me?"
"Darlene's lot in life?"

AGAIN, I am being portrayed as someone who was arrested as a result of the John Doe.
Do you ever learn??

Diamond Jim? Funny that you would blame the wisconsin economy on Doyle when the global economy was destroyed by Conservatives in the White house. Now that Obama is in office its his fault and Doyles. You wonder why you are Darlene to me? See below.

"I would love to adress you as our fake name wislady, but you keep going back to darlene."

I seem to find some conflicting stats here. Bureau of Labor Statistics puts Wisconsin at number 24 nationwide with 7.0% unemployment in January 2013, but this report says 8%. What gives?

It's time to recognize Walker for the failure that he is. Under his leadership, WI has lagged far behind all neighboring states in terms of employement and economic recovery. He has been more focused on trying to establish his national image within the Republican party rather than focus on his duties as governor. In short, he is the worst governor in the nation.

So bush got away with an illegal war and Obama can't get away with fixing our country? Because the fact is the right got us into this mess.

Jvldude.....the right is blaming the left, its not a racial thing.

One point I would like to make is that Gov. Walker made his promise knowing Pres. Obama was in office. I don't understand why Gov. Walker would have made his jobs promise if he didn't think he could do it despite the President. Bottom line is that Gov. Walker has no excuse, he knew what he was getting into.

It is walkers fault. The rest of the country is moving forward. Guess what? Tax cuts and trickle down economics has been proven not to work time and time again. But I'm done trying to explain facts to you.

I guess if you think Walker is the problem then the answer is to raise taxes ?

I have a hang nail that is obamas fault. He has been a patsy since he took office. This blame the black guy mentality from the right is disgusting. Especially since it was rich white guys who ruined this country! It's racism and its getting old.

We do have to give the guv some credit. He has managed to increase unemployment in all 72 counties. Quite an astounding accomplishment. Meanwhile during the same time period, Iowa and Minn. both lowered their unemployment rate. I believe they have the same president. Way to go guv!

High unemployment is bad for wisconsin. Is Walker and his cronies completely to blame? No, but the shoulder the large burden here as they should. I want the state to be prosperous, I dont care who is in charge. Unfortunatley this Republican super majority has done nothing for the state but set us into a constant "ram it down" your throat style politics that will cause us to now spend years in the courts on almost every ridiculously over reaching bill they pass.

Whe will the conservatives hold Walker responsible for low employment numbers and higher spending? They are not capable of it, it requires honesty. Honesty is not possible in politics in America anymore, ou are simply a true believer.

and just so were clear I dont think that Conservatives are solely responsible for the global economic disaster, everyone is to blame, greed is to blame, not a partisan ideology.

Diamond Jim? Funny that you would blame the wisconsin economy on Doyle when the global economy was destroyed by Conservatives in the White house. Now that Obama is in office its his fault and Doyles. You wonder why you are Darlene to me? See below.

Absolute dishonesty based on Party. Scott Walker has absolutely failed on what he promised in his campaign, but you will find a way to blame the other party. Walker should never have made the promises he did, there was no way he could have come through. The fact ius that he has had a super majority most of his time in and..........nothing. Wait for it.....its Obama's fault. During the global economic crisis when Bush presided over the countr for 7 ears before the largest economic recession ever......Doyles fault.

Darlene's lot in life? Blame democrats and praise repubs. Do you get tired of being a partisan hack? I would love to adress you as our fake name wislady, but you keep going back to darlene.

Wrong. Wisconsin was at 7.7%, while the nation was at 9%.

Wisconsin was at 9.2% unemployment when Diamond Jim left the governors office, January 2011.

I don't blame Gov. Walker. I blame President Obama.

Divide and conquer, dropping bombs, making all the tough choices, full control of the legislature and Walker still can't make anything happen. Thanks for being an ineffective leader Walker.

Where are the jobs Obummer - Wisconsin like most all states are going down in the Titantic called Benghazi Barry.

All Walker can do is keep fighting the Feds. Stay strong.

Where's all those jobs Scotty?
Your time in office is almost over.
Thank God for that!
