Scott Walker has declared and US politic just took a dive to a new low.
There’s a great graphic showing this process at work in Wisconsin, charting how the millions of dollars of Koch money that poured into the state to elect Scott Walker and other Koch-funded Republicans has led directly to the cutting of benefits for government employees and the Kochs getting access to state-owned energy infrastructure—which has apparently been the Kochs’ longtime goal. Unfortunately, the flow chart left out one crucial step: that taxpayers are the initial source of Koch money, which would make the chart circular instead of linear.
You can see it on the federal level, too. Just a few weeks ago, Koch-funded House Republicans stepped up efforts to achieve longtime Koch goal to shut down the Environmental Protection Agency by passing an amendment that would defund an EPA program monitoring industrial greenhouse gas emissions. While the move is clearly against the wishes of the American people, a majority of whom support the EPA regardless of political affiliation, it will be an amazing victory for the Koch family.
Walker delivered….Washington Post 2014
Of course, there we have more. We must not forget that the unmarried post baby boomer woman, is a predominate Democrat vote. Walker the The good conservative!

America’s recovery sine 2009 has been much slower than in previous recessions http://t.co/B5cLRCkkPR pic.twitter.com/tG1VQiCBwb— The Economist (@TheEconomist) July 14, 2015
If we factor-in the full measure of past recessions, A case can be made the Bush recession was the most crippled and devastating recession since the Great Depression.
The chart doesn’t remind of deep and severe jobs losses, a collapsed housing market and the reality middle Americans lost 80% of their wealth during the Bush Recession.
The “expert” publications like the Economist also strategically avoid any mention of overt and utter obtuse obstruction to all things Obama. If we look close we may find Democrats worked with Republicans to rid the nation of the Reagan Recession.
