GOP wunderkind drives Wisconsin into the ground

[Ellipsis]

The latest data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia paints a poor picture for one of the GOP's top 2016 presidential pretenders, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

Not only is Wisconsin one of just five states whose economy is expected to contract over the next six months, but it's 49th out of 50. Only Wyoming clocks in worse. (What, is Wyoming's oil and gas boom running out of steam?)

This is just the latest indicator of Wisconsin's economic woes. The state ranks 44th in private sector job growth, and 5th worst in wage erosion. For a governor who made much of stealing Illinois jobs after their southern neighbor raised taxes, it is Illinois that is far outpacing it economically. In fact, Illinois is projected to be in the top 10 over the next six months. Oops.

As consolation, turns out that Walker isn't alone. Every state above with a projected economic contraction is run be a fellow Republican. Indeed, every single one of the bottom 10 is GOP governed. He's in appropriate company.
