Wisconsin’s struggling Assembly Democrats choose Gordon Hintz to lead them (meh)
In a move that seems destined to lead to no good outcomes for them, Wisconsin’s Assembly Democrats have elected State Rep. Gordon Hintz as their leader. Hintz will replace Rep. Peter Barca of Kenosha, who announced earlier this month he was stepping down as Assembly minority leader after many of his members tried […]
What We Are Reading: 09/14/2017
How to Build Wisconsin’s Economy : Years ago, Michael Porter of Harvard Business School argued that successful business strategies took one of two forms: cost leadership versus leadership in differentiation. A company emphasizing cost leadership will do everything it can to drive down costs. Differentiation strategies take a variety of forms, but they all […]
Make America Great Again by Selling One Piece At a Time to Asia
I am focusing mostly on Wisconsin at the moment…but first we have Foxconn who will buy some prime Wisconsin real estate, take advantage of local municipal resources, and get a big kick back from the taxpayers of Wisconsin…while the profits go off to Taiwan.
Next we have Governor Scott Walker touring Japan and South Korea, […]
Let’s Do Some Simple Math!
Math that I even I can do!!

With Democrats like Peter Barca and Cory Mason it’s no wonder Wisconsin’s Democrats have little hope of regaining what they’ve lost since 2010.
All but two Republicans supported the bill in the 59-30 vote and they were joined by three Democrats – Reps. Cory Mason of Racine and Peter Barca and Tod Ohnstad […]
Rep Joel Kleefisch: Wisconsin Penny Ante Fellow Traveler
Ok, I’ve never heard of the 3 percenters. So I guess Wisconsin State Representative Joel Kleefisch hadn’t either…but before you speak to a group…wouldn’t you have someone in your office vet them? Isn’t that your job…and their job? Or did he actually know better and just flat out in Trump America not care. So […]
In my post from this morning, What We Are Reading 08/15/2017, I tagged the Op Ed piece by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker extoling the virtues of the Foxconn deal. And of course the touted the ‘progress’ that Wisconsin has made under his administration and that Wisconsin is ready to do business. And he brought […]
Is The State Ready To Invest In Education For Foxconn?
This is a question I’ve asked several times on social media but apparently not here. But beyond the potential $3 billion in tax credits and the sales tax holiday and the infrastructure build outs…is the state of Wisconsin and Governor Scott Walker prepared to fund the 21st Century educations needed to run with the modern […]
