Listen "Walker’s failing low wage economy"
Episode Synopsis
We discuss Scott Walker’s decision to support Donald Trump if he is the GOP nominee and his effort to shamelessly touts kicking 41,149 people off foodshare as a jobs program. Walker called it an opportunity for those kicked off "to live their piece of the American dream." Fortunately, most workers aren’t buying Walker’s snake oil, as 64% in a new poll said the state Wisconsin's economy was either "poor" or "not so good." We profile a new living wage ordinance in Eau Claire County and Robert updates us on the Humana Aetna merger that Gov. Walker rubber stamped. Jorna has the weekly installment of Paul Ryan Watch.
