Wisconsin also lags behind typically in recovery and it's hard to recover when people are leaving the state which they were doing under Doyle and are under Walker. People go where the jobs are. That's why it's a national affect.
Doyle also had to skip debt payments.
You can say tax cuts for the rich are ill advised but when was the last time a poor person offered you a job? I think you need to try to keep businesses in state and not have them move to states like Texas and Florida that are trying to poach companies from states like California with high taxes.

A poor person offers me a job when they want to make money. Companies losing money all the time and offer people jobs so they can make money off of you. Rich people can only get rich off of those who are working for them to help them get rich. Tax Cuts are ill advised when you have bills to pay. That's like quitting your job when the rent is due. It doesn't make sense. Scott Walker made a ton of unforced errors... When businesses see that the state government can't function that doesn't make them want to invest. That makes them avoid the state. Scott Walker cut education and various other things businesses need in order to invest in a state and create a business friendly climate.
Blaming the broader economy for economic mistakes Scott Walker made of his own makes no sense. Every one else around WI is growing more than WI. That can't be blamed on people leaving the state. In theory there should be more jobs available jobs if people are leaving. The broader economy could be blamed in 2008 not in 2015 when almost every state in the country is seeing better job growth and wage growth than WI.
However, WI let themselves be bought by the Koch brothers and now they are suffering like Kansas....can't pay their bills, no growth, no hope, no future. It's no mistake that WI and Kansas aren't growing like the rest of the country. If it was a broader economic issue the rest of the country would be experiencing it.
