Republicans would have let the American car companies go out of business, devastating local manufacturers such as Johnson Controls. They would have let the banks collapse. They would have laid off hundreds of thousands of teachers. They even oppose a $30 billion loan fund to assist small businesses.

Wisconsin Republicans have joined their national leaders in opposing actual dollars coming into the state to create jobs and promote economic development.

Incredibly, both Republican gubernatorial candidates have pledged to reject the federal gift of $810 million to build the national high-speed rail system in Wisconsin and all the resulting employment and economic development.

When the economy is the primary voter concern, the cynical Republican decision to try to prevent economic recovery under Obama should be the real political kiss of death.
