Walker turning out to be job killer

Republican Scott Walker ran for governor on the issue of creating jobs as his number one priority. The day after he was elected he announced "Wisconsin is open for business," inviting businesses and corporations to move to Wisconsin because he is going to eliminate all business and corporate taxes and eliminate all business and corporate regulations. There go environmental, health and safety regulations. So far, though, he has been a job killer and he has not even been sworn-in yet. Contracts for the high speed train between Madison and Milwaukee had already been signed and work was about to start, but the project has now been all but canceled, killing about 6,000 jobs. He has also promised to ban embryonic stem cell research. Madison is the embryonic stem cell research capital of the world, but it won't be anymore. This will kill thousands of more jobs. In addition, he says he is going to shrink the size of the state government by cutting state positions. There goes thousands of more jobs. I find it ironic that Walker ran with the number one goal of creating jobs but the reality is that he already is Scott "Job Killer" Walker.
