Wells Fargo cutting 1,000 Milwaukee jobs...

And is Walker headed to the city to address what I believe is the largest job loss at a single business during his 'not open for business' 50 months in the Governor' office?

Nope. He's off playing Pretend - Commander-in-Chief at the Texas border, looking for ISIS fighters. On our dime.

While Wisconsin has fallen to 50th among the states in middle-class shrinkage, 40th in job creation.

The excuse that Wells Fargo provided..."people are doing so well with their mortgages that these 1000 employees are no longer needed"....is bogus and must have come from Walker's office to cover their butts. Milwaukee County has 35% of homeowners stuck in homes with mortgages that are under water. Racine and Kenosha Counties have 25% each. This smells of the kind of cover up crap that repeatedly comes from the governor's office.

I don't think home sales have really recovered from the 2008 crash here in WI and home prices have dropped. Here are some interesting statistics: https://www.wra.org/Resources/Property/Wisconsin_Housing_Statistics/

Heck, Walker's DWD sent out a release saying that this was a sign that things were doing well, since there were less delinquencies. Amazingly tone-deaf and desperate
