Scott Walker billboard outside closed GM plant in Janesville (long)

[indyfan22k]

Too bad you guys can't save Indiana. that state become union busting with its damn "right to work law"

[scootosan]

GM was dying way before Walker came into office and GM received a bailout so much for "Change". Guess that bitter taste in your mouth is from Jim Doyle

Dictator Walker's jobs plan for Wisconsin = 12,000 jobs lost in November alone (of course this is a success in baggerland). What a loser. Say bye, bye KochWalker!!!

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't matter when it closed. It's like making a poster saying everyone eats in America and then taping it to a food bank that ran out of food. IT'S CALLED IRONY.

shit, this plant closed in 2008..... nice try

[zoobs39]

Do any of the Walker supporters on here live in reality??? I mean, CMON!! Wisconsin is dead last in job creation since his budget went into effect in July. Led the nation in job losses in October ( 9,000 plus) and November (14,000 plus).........lets get off the "tea" and come back to the real world fascist drones!!!

I think you better look again - donnabella- make sure of your facts. He is destroying jobs not creating them.

[cyndilooowho]

The reaction to the photograph on Facebook was so swift and strong, that by noon, a friend who works in Washington DC contacted Yuri inquiring if indeed this picture was taken in Janesville, WI. By 1 pm it was posted on Facebook that the billboard was being removed.

Who's administration did the plant close under? Was it Scott Walker or someone else?

[KOAJaps]

@donnabella1102 Does it matter? Scott Walker is CREATING jobs.

[DataTasha4Ever]

@donnabella1102 I think it doesn't matter. Even if it did close under someone else, it's symbolic of the jobs (train, anyone?) that have disappeared under Walker.

@donnabella1102 It was planned to close in 2010 when GM decided to shut it down before going into chapter 11 the next year. It was still open in 2010 but with a very small number of people before fully being shuttered and put on "standby". No amount of crazy things Walker does will make that plant go out of standby and create thousands of jobs instantly as GM would most likely end up in the hole again and all of us on the line to bail the idiots out again.

@donnabella1102 The point is, it is still closed and nothing has taken its place. Gov. Walker, job creator? Not so much.

[trekguy66]

Too funny. I am glad that it got documented before it came down.
