And it is worse than this, they have indicated that revenues may actually FALL, meaning we have a contracting economy. They decided to hedge their bets and come out with a best-case scenario: THERE WILL BE NO GROWTH IN THE WISCONSIN ECONOMY FOR 2 YEARS!<br /><br />This should be a disaster for Walker and his Republican allies, but the media will not tell the public what is happening and most don't understand what this means. JFC had to announce reduced revenues for the last budget and the situation is not getting better and appears to be getting worse, but they have decided not to factor that into their forecast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
