Romney's a moron: he NAMES police, firefighters and teachers as being things that those great Wisconsinites decided they don't need, and now, all of the nation should follow suit. How this makes sense to him or anyone else is beyond me.
I can't think of a time in America's history where police, firefighters, and teachers weren't a necessity and in short supply. With a growing populace, one would think that hiring more would be a no-brainer, but not to Romey, due to Wisconsinites.
WHAT?
Oh, and for those of you that want to point and wave your fingers, saying "Quiggle, you just don't know what he really means, which is government policies getting bigger... we don't need more of THAT" I've got your answer. All I've got to say is "look at republican policy for the last 30-plus years and see what they've done in slow economic times--or just look at kaysian economics, because it's basic theory."
Reagan, Bush 1 and 2 all used large government policies when things were looking grim to speed up economic recovery. They increased government spending and government jobs during their term. But, when Obama calls for doing the same thing, AFTER BREATHING LIFE into the PRIVATE SECTOR, he's deemed a socialist.

WHY? Oh, because Wisconsin decided all of that for us recently. If this country falls into despair, it's nothing more than the fault of a state with a recent recall election. Don't believe the left, when they tell you it was the right that fought to make sure government jobs weren't created.
We now know better. Thanks a lot, Wisconsin.

Somehow, working a job that pays 30 grand and can go up to 60k to 100k is evil in the public sector, but it's fine in the private sector, where people routinely make millions and get tax breaks all the time.
What's the deal? You don't like your police force, firefighters and teachers?
It's like this: You don't destroy the plants to get your soil up to par, you replace the soil. You still need the plants. The soil doesn't just grow plants on its own.
Keynes advocated what has been called countercyclical fiscal policies, that is, policies that acted against the tide of the business cycle: deficit spending when a nation's economy suffers from recession or when recovery is long-delayed and unemployment is persistently high—and the suppression of inflation in boom times by either increasing taxes or cutting back on government outlays. He argued that governments should solve problems in the short run rather than waiting for market forces to do it in the long run, because, "in the long run, we are all dead."
Guess who followed that path? REAGAN, BUSH and HIS SON.
Why you'd argue against that NOW, is beyond me. If you like going bankrupt as a nation, then go ahead and like that. I'm not going along with you.
Now this batch of conservative wingnuts only focus on putting others out of work, hoping the trickling downward spiral leads them into conservative Nirvana!
That's a ridiculous claim, even by liberal standards.
You might also want to check out Keynesian Economics. Not to be confused with your RW brain for Kenyan Economics. Thanks.
