In his recent book “The Fall of Wisconsin,” Dan Kaufman does a thorough job of itemizing all the wonderful things the people of the state and the people they elected did for Wisconsin and the country. The fall that Wisconsin took from its historical highs was large enough to be worth a book.
Just about every Walker policy was bought by special interests.
Until Ford and Kavanaugh both testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Democrats should back off on making a judgement.
In last fiscal year, 73.5% of state agency’s single family home loans went to Millennials.
While much attention has been showered on the recent collaboration we announced with Foxconn, an initiative that didn’t receive quite as much coverage was the launch of the Forward BIO collaboration, a collaborative effort to make Wisconsin a recognized center of excellence for biomanufacturing.
The reason that politicians conflate more government spending with improving educational outcomes is as lazy as it is stupid. It is an easy way for them to demonstrate that they are “doing something.”
It seems that nothing this administration does is enough to simply stand on its own. It has to be embellished with a tall story at the minimum or with an outright lie at the worst.
State in slow growth mode. Two candidates have very different approaches to this.
As Republican candidates grow increasingly desperate about their chances of survival in November, the Congressional Leadership Fund, the super-PAC for which Ryan has raised $100 million, is broadcasting some of the most dishonest, hate-filled, racist attack ads in their party’s shameful history of inflammatory attack ads going back to the infamous Willie Horton ad of 1988.
It relies on supply side economics. So how well is that working?
Wigderson and Scaffidi discuss the Kavanaugh nomination and Evers’ proposed education budget.
Perhaps it’s time for the sports world to tone down all the militarism and our seeming need to deify everything about war.
Biggest takeaway is that while Republicans should not panic, many need to adapt and overcome.
Walker’s plainly got some work to do if he wants to continue demolishing Wisconsin’s legacy of progressive government.
The contest Walker faces in November against his Democratic opponent is expected to be his hardest battle yet, and one not everyone is convinced he’ll win.
DOJ gag order on his employees shows the impact of ending civil service protections.
Rather than under-regulation, problems in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program likely result from too many regulations being forced on private schools.
Shocking allegations about the Supreme Court nominee’s past must be reviewed–along with evidence that he has repeatedly lied to the Senate.
There has been a stunning disclosure by Great Lakes water expert author Peter Annin; the Wisconsin DNR during the Doyle years administratively gave Pleasant Prairie permission to boost its development-friendly Lake Michigan diversion water – – a plan which already been approved relatively quietly during the Thompson years.
For years we have heard that Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility, but recent actions in both Wisconsin and America at large shows this to be a farce.
