In 2008, the Eurozone and the United States were roughly the same size based on their economies. Today the U.S. economy is twice the size of the Eurozone.
The two-horse race for the presidency may not satisfy people who wished for different candidates atop the Republican and Democratic tickets, but it has at least focused the debate on how well the American economy is – or isn’t – performing.
The city’s efforts to rezone swaths of Madison to make it easier for developers to build apartments without neighbors’ interference, add a bike path at the expense of mature trees and make life more difficult for drivers has, shall we say, touched a nerve.
The one absolutely solid research finding across many studies is that having police stationed in schools increases the number of children, especially Black children, who are referred to the criminal legal system and punished in school — mostly for minor discipline issues and petty thefts — while having no effect on serious crimes.
The direct gains flowing from profitable companies – compensation and benefits — is the job of current executives. It is not all about shareholder gains.

As he targets aspiring families as “vermin” and nonhuman “animals,” Trump moves as far away as is humanly possible from a place of virtue.
State Revenue Secretary Peter Barca, who’s leaving his position next month after five years on the job, is considering a run for the 1st CD, an office he held 30 years ago, multiple Dem sources say.
The group seeking to recall Robin Vos has launched a new attempt targeting the GOP Assembly speaker after the first one appeared to fall short of the signatures needed to force an election.
With so many moving pieces and the new maps, WisPoiltics has assembled webpages for the Assembly and Senate so you can track who’s in, who’s out and who’s on the move.
