The promise of sustainable new jobs is dubious based on more than the track record of both Walker and Foxconn.

Wisconsin taxpayers would subsidize each Foxconn job $230,000 to $1 million. These jobs would pay a third of what a family of four needs to live in the middle class.

In his frenzied courtship of Foxconn, Gov. Walker is prepared to surrender your water and air to the multinational corporation.

If Foxconn’s development site can be exempted from environmental rules that are supposed to ensure the clean water that is the people’s constitutionally-guaranteed right, then why not draw the same kind of privileged lines around the rapidly-expanding Wisconsin industrial-scale big animal feeding factories known as CAFOs?

Ryan is right — legal immigration strengthens the country. But an even stronger, merit-based system would strengthen the nation even more — as long as “merit” doesn’t simply become a beauty contest.

Perhaps a better approach to the debate over cost-sharing subsidies would be for our government to actually make an effort to follow the rules of Civics 101.

Ryan, Johnson, Duffy may have many questions to answer.

Its general is Betsy DeVos, keynote speaker at annual conference I attended.

Severing the century-old link between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds is the only sure way to stop the flow of invasive species from one watershed to the other.
