Wisconsin Republicans say, it's NOT about you? PPP loans just to help Business? Yup.

Vos Republicans don’t believe there’s a legitimate opposition party with strongly held policies and beliefs. They think liberals, progressives, and Democrats are communists and Marxists, trying to destroy their own jobs, families, economy, and government. I know, but it doesn’t have to make sense to our QAnon neighbors anymore. 

Recently, cosplay governor Robin Vos said that Republicans will never “compromise their conservative ideals,” dismissing liberal ideals entirely. Talk about “cancel culture.”   

Pretending their Trump/Scott Walker “eggs-in-one-basket” Foxconn debacle never happened, the party of big business continues to ignore the real economic backbone of our state, local small businesses and privately owned farms and their employees.

Stimulus Downside for Republicans? PPP Loans forced Business to Keep Employees? Really, employers were “caught between a rock and the hard place” keeping employees? I didn’t say that. Gerrymandering made this brutal but free from voter accountability comment possible. Behold…

JSOnline: Republican Sen. Joan Ballweg of Markesan, who as a member of the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee voted in favor of the state tax cut (for PPP loans) on Wednesday.  

She said the program helped the tourism industry get through the pandemic but was flawed because of the rules requiring it to retain employees when business was down.

“They were caught between a rock and the hard place because their business crashed. But by trying to get into the PPP loan, they were mandated to keep on employees that they didn’t need. From the beginning, it was a noble effort. Was it done perfectly? By far and away not.”

Do antigovernment Republicans act like they want “small” Government: Think about it; they run for a government job, then get paid with hard earned taxpayer dollars, do nothing to solve state-wide problems, then create gerrymandered safe districts to keep their cushy government jobs, all the while grabbing power away from localities and the Governor.

Give the Legislature oversight of the distribution of federal funds that are allocated to Wisconsin related to combating COVID-19…give Republicans in the Legislature authority over how to spend all future federal COVID-19 dollars that the state receives.

Vos Republicans have control over just 10 percent of the federal COVID relief aid, so guess what they’re doing? They’re already using it to punish districts that canceled in-person classes because of the pandemic. COVID-19 remember is just a hoax, but wear the mask if you like…:

The budget committee approved a spending plan that will financially penalize some school districts for offering online instruction during the pandemic. Republicans praised the plan for rewarding school districts that have “done the right thing.”

…threatening some school districts too…

The district operates buildings that are more than 70 years old. “We have and will continue to do everything we can to make our buildings safer during this time and that includes maximizing ventilation and air exchange rates. However, this is not easy in our older buildings,” they wrote.

Do-nothing Vos Republicans, skipping the hard work part put out by the CDC, just want to open schools without making them safer first…:

Vos Republicans poisoned a COVID-19 bill by try to steal the Governors powers, again. State Sen. Duey Stroebel predictably blamed Evers:
