More Jobs Flee Wisconsin

   January 11, 2012

Walker scares off a whole mess of good-paying manufacturing jobs from Wisconsin.  Again.

The move by Joerns Healthcare in Stevens Point will likely leave at least 200 people unemployed. Joerns says it plans to spread operations between facilities in Arlington, Texas; Matamoros, Mexico and Duman, Ark., over the next six to 12 months.

Would someone please let me know when “it” starts working?  I’m not feeling it.  I’ll bet those 200 folks in Stevens Point aren’t feeling it either.  I truly wish them the best of luck.  By the time they get their Romney Slips, Wisconsin should have new, dynamic, functional leadership in place and we can leave these Republican thugs in the rear-view mirror.

  2. Should we blame Scott Walker for this or Obamacare. Second I don’t understand why you complain about job creation but when we propose to open mines you are the first to protest them just shows how you want Walker and the private sector to fail.

    1. What’s “Obamacare?” I mean, I know that Obama cares about America. He cares about the people and how they’re doing. But what is…

      Oh wait. I remember now. I’ve heard some RWNJs using that term in a derogatory fashion to describe the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They call it “Obamacare,” I just never thought I’d hear a fellow progressive use that term.

      Shame on you, Jeff. 🙂

      Language matters.

  5. No i get it. Language does matter and the repubs have a huge advanatage in how they frame things over the dems. I really try not to use that word but i figured Mike wouldnt understand if I didnt.

    By the way in terms of language I think we ALL on the left overuse the term conservatives. There is nothing “conservative” about the republicans in WIsconsin yet conservative sounds so good to the general population that is not very informed. There are republicans(the moderate ones) or right wing extremists(most of the elected ones).

    Ok rant over!

    1. I’m with you. Perhaps the best word to describe the right-wing in American politics is “reactionary.”

      Conservatives can live with revolutions that do not disrupt what is proximate. As one Radical Reconstructionist said of the white supremacists after the Civil War, “They do not care so much about Congress admitting Negroes to their halls … but they do not want the Negroes over them at home.” They can’t live with revolutions that touch too closely. This is why Burke made a special point of noting that “the real object” of the French Revolution was “to break all those connexions, natural and civil, that regulate and hold together the community by a chain of subordination.” Among his examples were “servants against their masters,” “artificers against their employers,” “tenants against their landlords,” and “children against their parents.” In the 20th century, I argue, conservatives have been most concerned about the revolt of the inferior in the family and the workplace.
