    I find the assault on free thought disturbing,
    I find the willingness to give it up frightening.

    if those jobs pay a wage that allows you to support your family then those can't be real jobs

    as Walker and those in the know, know the only real jobs are the one that add pure profit to the owners bottomline and only let you just get by (if that)

    Not that I'm a Walker fan, but this is just political talk. Illinois/Wisconsin is an Apples/Oranges comparison.

    IL has the 5th largest economy in the U.S. and WI ranks 20th. WI doesn't have a Chicago (the third largest city in the U.S.) to help it along.

    WI Unemployment rate is ~7% and IL is ~9%

    Illinois also has ~$80 billion in unfunded pension liabilites...

    Illinois cracks me up also.
