On Darting to work: Wisconsin workers could fill Belvidere jobs

Make no mistake, if Chryler chooses to add 1800 new assembly positions-there will be no shortage of applicants 40 mile commute not withstanding. Hopefully people will understand that while this is a great opportunity today-this may not be lifetime guaranteed employment with COLA rate adjustments, almost free healthcare, and a pension pegged to CPI-depite what Obama or the union brass may tell you. These types of jobs are easily moved and eliminated and are dependant of on a stong consumer economy to drive demand for the products produced. Good luck to all of those who apply and find a fresh start.
On Liebert entering race for 44th District seat

Leiberts announcement makes for a great race. He should be applauded for his willingness to say he is a career politician; while I probably dont believe with any of his personal positions-it could be great theatre if the 3 dems running, Sam, Yuri, and Deb-debated prior to the primary-it would be a great demonstration on who would promise more gov't for free.
While Mr Liebert says he will focus on Jobs, education, and govt accountability-the electorate should hold his feat to the fire. He will run on a platform of restoring the status quo and rewarding union donors who will finance his campaign. Hes offered nothing regarding education-which is about student acheievement first and union bargaining rights second, job creation; or govt accountability. My guess is that Mr Leibert would prefer not to be held accountable for anything he promises during this campaign-afterall he is running for a temporary job-he's not running to be king-where he and only he could wave his magic wand and give teachers unions raises and pension guarantees, create more private sector jobs, and promise that govt is accountable for securing and delivering prosperity to all.

Is there a progressive party?
Did Mr Leibert run for a nonpartisan city coucil seat as a life long progressive? Mr Lieberts stated goals is to teach history. Go ahead and laugh-but he wants to go to Madison to restore the status quo first? Sure.

Youkill,
You've offered no solutions. Complaints are not solutions. The dream world in which you wish to live doesnt exist-incentives drive market economies and totally free unregulated markets do not exist either.
Simply because I believe in the right to bear arms does not mean that all US citizens shoul have the right to own nuclear weapons.
Who-specifically picked Subzero as a winner in this economy? How many subzero products occupy your home? I have a freezer in the garage-so I suppose you could say that I support this business? What about you?
Who the heck are you to label the owners of a company that employs hundreds of people as a parasite? Why shouldnt the owner of any company be entitled to a return on their investment? Who made you queen? If you dont have any solutions-admit it.
If you wish to complain that the owners of their company are choosing to move parts of their business to a more competitive location-then offer a solution to keep them. A platitude that says the market is not fair to begin with is not a solution-its a childish attempt to deflect the real issue-which owners of companies have the right to own and operate their business as they see fit.

Go ahead and toll! And then follow the money to see how the money is spent! It likely will not be spent on road repair-it will be spent on something else. If you dont like the toll-good luck in removing it-its like any other govt agency-they will exist in perpituity and spent on pet projects for decades to come!

Mouse,
Why bring in Mitt Romney if not to demagogue his success? Im sure that if you looked into Bain Capital and their businesses that you would find that investors that buy companies-sometimes at a premium-sometimes at a discount dont look to govt to fix and bail out the company they just bought.
But rather than write a piece on asset valuation-why not offer free solutions to Subzero? What would you do?

Youkill,
So what specifically is your solution? Govt intervention? So you want govt to pick the winners and losers? Will these people be elected or appointed?

mteg,
You'll likely get nothing. However, no one is stopping you from refi-ing today-mortgage rates are near 30 year lows; take your business to a lender not named in the law suit....
