And it's a shame, when your state is broke, and needs millions of dollars of repairs, that the federal government was going to give you a grant for it. Oh,well.

Now you'll just have to divide your personal cost share between the population of Wisconsin (dollars), rather than the population of the United States (pennies)

Your right there is no job creation in WI since walker took office

“Wisconsin has added 26,400 private-sector jobs, including 13,100 manufacturing jobs, since Governor
Walker declared Wisconsin open for business,” Secretary Baumbach said. “Overall, the labor force is
growing, with more people working and more people looking for work. We are on pace to meet Governor
Walker’s goal of 250,000 jobs by 2015, and there is much more work to be done to get more Wisconsinites
trained and in family-sustaining jobs.”

I never said that.

“Wisconsin has added 26,400 private-sector jobs, including 13,100 manufacturing jobs, since Governor
Walker declared Wisconsin open for business,”

Those are kind of truly amazing figures, compared to the number of jobs added nationally. Got a reference for where Secretary B. got those figures?

Edit: LOL never mind, I found it. Seems there are some "technicalities" in the way they figure jobs (as everyone does) And the 10,800 people who lost their jobs in April are generously called "additional people who entered the labor force to take advantage of opportunity".

I hope Wisconsin gets job growth. I hope everyone gets job growth, and quickly! You guys now have multiple millions over the budget to pay back to pay for your train upkeep. Yikes! Big spending by your Governor, to borrow millions and millions you don't have.

And your thought process amazes me.

Guess you didn't read my previous posts in the thread?

Guess not.

You know, where I said, "Now you'll just have to divide your personal cost share between the population of Wisconsin (dollars), rather than the population of the United States (pennies)"

200 million compared to 800 million. thats like $8 per taxpayer (more than pennies) when you consider the % of the country that doesnt pay taxes.

Wow - you are really ... guessing at that math, aren't you? LOL! You came up with .... oh, $8?

Just pulled that figure out of clear air, huh?

Try and follow this: Walker now has to borrow a little over $24 million to pay for necessary essential upgrades. That $24 million was in the federal grant.

Walkers state bonds don't get the rate US Treasury Bonds do for the cost of borrowing that money, btw. So it's more expensive money, to the citizens of Wisconsin, than taking the federal money. That's just a given up front.

The citizens of Wisconsin now have to pay for that $24 million on the state level, divided only among the taxpayers of Wisconsin.

Rather than pay their share of that $24 million through their federal taxes, divided among millions more people, the taxpayers of the United States.

Now, your argument is that it is better to pay their share of only $24 million, and not have the equipment upgrades, new trains, new track, new lines which you say won't make profit, jobs, etc; than pay their share of the greater cost among the 50 states. Well, Walker agrees with you.

thats not how it works, Ms person who skews everything to try and justify her garbage.

810 million dollar grant. thats what you've been arguing Wisconsin should have accepted the entire arguement. dont skew now.

810 millions dollars paid for by the maybe 100 millon taxpayers. $8.
