This fits in with the latest right wing meme that the only way to succeed is on your own and that the government can't solve or even help with people's problems. With people like him in charge, he just might have a point.
However, true to the nature of the weasel that he is, that statement didn't last 12 hours before he blew himself out of the water.
Bright and early this morning, Walker was part of the joyful news that Kohl's was going to keep its headquarters in Menominee Falls, WI. He sent out a press release on how his administration is giving Kohl's up to $62.5 million in tax breaks for staying in the state and adding jobs. On top of that, the village of Menominee Falls will be giving the company $41 million in the form of a TIF.
Obviously, right-wingers must consider Kohl's to be a failure since they needed over $100 million in government assistance.
But Kohl's is not the only failure.
Walker is one as well, by his own standards:
Governor Walker requested a Federal Disaster Designation for 23 Wisconsin counties due to significant damages suffered from the ongoing drought conditions, according to a news release from the Walker administration.Like I said, he just might have a point. For example, if we wait for Walker to create 250,000 jobs, it might never happen.
Under the designation, Wisconsin farmers could apply for emergency loans through the Farm Service Agency.
