What I posted was fact.

You posted half-truths.

I posted Forbes ratings. Take it up with them

They aren't posting here, you are.

"Forbes' latest rankings of The Best States for Business placed America's
Dairyland

America's _DAIRYLAND_, an _agricultural_ state.

In terms of state income, manufacturing ranks above agriculture in Wisconsin.

Paper mills, and bags made of paper... ie, agriculture-derived products.

Agricultural jobs don't pay particularly well, generally, even where they intersect with manufacturing.

Bottom line is that your right wing politics don't work. Wisconsin is proof of that. Among 10 Midwest states Wisconsin ranks right near bottom in jobs growth, also near bottom nationally. Confirmed by Forbes, Bloomberg, by Bureau of labor statistics and other fact based sources.

Opinions may vary, of course, and you are welcome to yours. Others can form their own opinions, and I respect that also, but they are opinions. I don't call them liars, just people of differing opinions.

Here is fact as reported just today:

Report: Wisconsin's Job Growth Ranked 37th In Nation

Thursday, December 17, 2015, 9:55am

"The latest "gold standard" job numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Wisconsin ranked 37th in the nation in private-sector job growth from June 2014 to June 2015.

Wisconsin also ranked eighth out of 10 Midwest states. Among states that share a border with Wisconsin, only Iowa added jobs at a slower rate.

Overall, Wisconsin added 30,759 private-sector jobs, a growth rate of nearly 1.3 percent. By comparison, the national economy added jobs at a rate of 2.3 percent.

The numbers come from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which economists regard as the most accurate way to measure employment. As the name suggests, it gets its data from nearly all employers, which is why it takes so long to report..

... in terms of job growth, Wisconsin continues to lag behind most of its Midwest neighbors and the rest of the nation.

This June-to-June period was one of the slowest for Wisconsin since the Great Recession ended."
