I Found A GOP Jobs Plan!

Filed in National by on March 22, 2011

Between the war on women, the war on poor people and the war on the middle class, the GOP has hardly had time to think about creating jobs or helping the economy. The first jobs plan we saw was to give jobs as IRS abortion enforcers, but I doubt that will go anywhere. Wisconsin governor Scott Walker has a new jobs program – jobs for mistresses.

Even though the state is supposedly broke, top officials in Gov. Scott Walker’s team were able to scrape together enough money to give a state job to the woman identified as Sen. Randy Hopper’s girlfriend.

Anything for a political ally.

Valerie Cass, a former Republican legislative staffer, was hired Feb. 7 as a communications specialist with the state Department of Regulation and Licensing. She is being paid $20.35 per hour. The job is considered a temporary post.

This pay is a 38% increase from the previous holder of this position.

But who exactly recommended her for the post?

Cullen Werwie, spokesman for the governor, confirmed that it was Keith Gilkes, Walker’s chief of staff. She was then interviewed by the Department of Regulations and Licensing’s executive assistant and deputy and hired by Secretary Dave Ross, a Walker cabinet member.

Oh no, it wasn’t a political favor or anything, bite your tongue.

    Sorta O.T. but the folks in Wisconsin are fighting back. The recall ads are up. And, they dare to use the words Republican Class Warfare. To see it go to:

    Whatever else you know, you KNOW that it is Republican Class Warfare. It has ever been thus and will continue to be so. You get nuthin and the rich get it all. And for you wing-nuts who hang around here, someday you’re going to s’plain to me why you think that’s a good idea. Cause face it, you may be a wannabe but you’re never going to get a chance to be rich.

    @ Don- First it started with projectile vomiting, then the dry heaves.
    That is a deal breaker.

    Why don’t we look at the rampant cronyism here in DE? Father John says, remember, thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s things. 🙂

    father john,

    That’s fine with me as long as my rich neighbor leaves my things alone. But no, they’ve got to have it ALL.
