The U.S. Department of Labor Friday announced a nearly $4 million grant for unemployed job seekers to Wisconsin, which is expected to help as many as 2,580 workers affected by layoffs and plant closures, mostly in manufacturing.

"Wisconsin's manufacturing sector has been hit hard by layoffs, and many workers have lost jobs through no fault of their own," U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said in a statement. "This grant will provide workers with continued access to career search services and training programs that can lead to good jobs in growing industries."

The federal agency awarded the funds to the state Department of Workforce Development under a program called Trade Adjustment Assistance, which helps eligible workers who lost their jobs because a company moved operations to another nation, a Labor Department spokesman said.

The right wing bloggers are encouraging Scooter to send it back to the feds.

1. So, will Wanker take the money and look like the hypocrite he is or

will he turn it down and continue to screw the Wisconsin workers? Gov. Wanker is the great conservanazi hero. He has no interest in helping PEOPLE. Corporations, maybe, but not people.

2. Well - there you have it. Perhaps he will find a way to funnel the money to

some corpo that he is beholding to, then justify it by saying that they create jobs.

3. Based on what I know in Wanker and Wisconsin conservanazis, I agree.

Just read about the idiot that replaced Russ Feingold, Ron Johnson. Phoniest piece of sh!t in America. "great American businessman" :rofl:
Used his wife's family money to create a business. Employee prisoners and use Badger Care for the health care of the prisoners' family. Basically, he married a rich bitch, used the family's conservanazis friends to "hire" employees and use STATE SPONSORED health care plan to pay for benefits for the "employees'" dependents.

Now, I'm with you. That money is not going to employ anyone. It's going back to a briber. That's it if Wanker takes the money. If he does, he'll be looking like a big hypocrite IF the Progressives/unions go after him over it. The Dems will probably twiddle their thumbs and look worried.

I've been away from Wisconsin for 4 months now. I hope the Wisconsin Dems, who I financially supported, are getting really aggressive against the conservanazis.

4. In rightwingspeak, "great American" refers to someone who helps the cause...

I've noticed Hannity tells all of his rightwing loony callers that they're "great Americans"

I presume the "cause" they refer to is the conservanazification of America.... :puke:

$4 million out of her ass.
