I understand that Patch is selling ads and that the eyeball count is important, but this seems a little too much like a deliberate attempt to stir up a hornets nest in order to generate hits.

I blame Scott Walker for lowering the unemployment rate. How dare he! How are we ever going to collect unemployment compensation?

Dear Adam: The mine would have created thousands of of jobs, not 600 or 700.

Mrs. Pasch- GET A CLUE! The democrats voted down jobs when they listened to outside interest groups an rejected that mining bill!! That company was willing to put a billion dollars towards that mine. I know you know what a billions dollars is, oh wait- it's THREE BILLION that the deficit was when Mr. Walker took office and he has since eliminated. We need more people getting jobs and paying taxes and you people keep playing politics for union bosses!!!! STOP!!!

Wait a minute, Pasch is actually doing something??? I know, making a public statement isn't much, but this is Pasch we're talking about here.

She must smell blood in the water!

Once again the mindless Pasch bashing, which proves few of you have a point.

Looks like Walker and the Fitzs can only screw up the state so much and that Wisconsin could only resist the growing Obama economy so long.

On top of your childish taunts, Sandy is being fair. The jobs created in the first half of 2011 did not belong to Walker but Doyle. But that's just us progressives. We like to cut people breaks.

Keith, aside from being an "Aggressive Progressive", you wouldn't have any personal/professional interest in the furthering of Sandy's political career - would you?

@keith- Mindless is giving Doyle credit for anything! I suppose you're one that won't give Walker any credit for the unemployment rates being the lowest since 2008. 'We progressives cut people a break'? You can't honestly say that with a straight face while a senseless recall is going on. Meanwhile, you progressively raise taxes and contribute to Obama's growing national debt!!!! Economy is getting a tad better, but after the last few years we couldn't get much worse!!! Let Walker have his 4 years and see what happens. Progressives- aka whiners!!!

Watch the local news tonight. There were news crews at the VA Center for the Veteran's Job Fair. I was there, and so were hundreds of other people. There are still many many people looking for jobs. There may be fewer people collecting unemployment benefits, but that does not translate into more people working. Adam, I am not sure who is spinning the numbers for you.

This week the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development released the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ preliminary data for January 2012, which showed that Wisconsin’s unemployment rate dropped to 6.9% (the lowest since 2008) and the state added 15,700 private sector jobs.

And there's still that petition moving forward, despite some fraudulent signatures, to give Walker his walking papers? Come on! People want jobs, they get them, and they still aren't satisfied! I think those folks who want Walker out are still looking for the "perfect" job- all the benefits, everybody getting along with everybody, nice, benevolent bosses, cooperative, responsible co-workers, & making lots of money while not doing anything! Such a job- there ain't no such animal! I don't care too much for my current job, but I'm glad I got it because it helps me pay the bills.

All this reminds me of 2 Rolling Stones songs: "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," & "You Can't Always Get What You Want!"
