In 2011 — the same year Scott Walker became governor — Wisconsin enacted a Manufacturing and Agriculture Credit (MAC) meant to stimulate the state economy by providing tax relief for those who use property for productive purposes. A new study indicates it’s providing lots of tax relief for the rich but not much economic stimulus for anybody else.
The Wisconsin Budget Project study finds that MAC is taking a much greater toll on the state budget than lawmakers envisioned. Though it was initially estimated that the credit would reduce tax collections by $129 million in fiscal year 2017, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue now estimates it’ll cost $284 million next year. That’s roughly $30 million more than the amount Walker and the Republican-controlled legislature cut from the University of Wisconsin System in 2015.
The study also finds that MAC disproportionately benefits the rich and has had a negligible impact on job creation. Tax filers who make $1 million or more received 78 percent of the total credit amount this year, while those who make less than $300,000 got just seven percent. In return for that massive tax giveaway to the wealthy, Wisconsin’s manufacturing sector, which receives five out of every six MAC dollars, has actually shrunk relative to the rest of the state’s economy....................

Watch people attack Hillary Clinton for dishonesty — while lying through their teeth
I watched this earlier today and was just astounded--how person after person said they had read these made-up fake emails. 
These went on national TV--how embarrassing for them. Karma works well!!

Hillary Clinton is not a trustworthy person -- that seems to be the consensus of much of the country, and it's throwing a wrench in what might otherwise be a more-lopsided presidential election.
And who better to judge her for her lack of trustworthiness than people who are in the process of lying themselves?
Jimmy Kimmel's "Lie Witness News" took to the streets to ask people about the approximately 160 previously unreleased Clinton emails this week. The show, of course, totally made up what was actually in the rather bland emails -- saying Clinton was responding to spam from Nigerian princes and asking Vladimir Putin for shirtless pictures, for instance.[/ But that didn't stop these people from describing how they had read about these non-existent emails and berating Clinton over them. 
The best part? The interviewer gets almost all of these liars to attack Clinton for her lack of honesty......................

Here’s why Hillary Clinton is about to start airing TV ads in Nebraska
Source: washington post
By John Wagner June 30 at 6:50 PM
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign said Thursday that it would expand its eight-state television advertising effort to include what at first blush might seem an unlikely location: heavily Republican Nebraska.
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is planning to go up in the state’s 2nd Congressional District, which is centered on the city of Omaha.
Nebraska is one of only two states that awards part of its electoral votes based on congressional district. The other is Maine. In Nebraska’s case, two of the state’s five electoral votes go to the statewide winner. The other three are distributed on the basis of performance in its three congressional districts.
.................
The campaign has previously started airing ads in battleground states including Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio and Colorado...........

It also says Obama did the same in 2008.

It’s been a good week for those of us expecting a better elections result on this side of the pond.
The current trends give Hillary Clinton a 7.3-point lead over the tiny-fingered, cheeto-faced, ferret-wearing shitgibbon (thanks Scotland, for that one!). Remember: In 2008, President Obama’s landslide victory over John McCain was 7.2 points. And the numbers haven’t stopped shifting on this one either, since we’re still waiting for some Bernie Sanders supporters to come home. And Trump sure hasn’t stopped screwing the pooch.
Driving these numbers are Clinton leads in pretty much every poll: ABC/Post +12, NBC/WSJ +5, Ipsos/Reuters +10, Rasmussen (crap) +5, ARG +9. About the only halfway positive results for Trump are Morning Consult, which only have Clinton at +2. But even that one has Trump stuck at 40 and look at that! None of the polls listed above have him at over 41. It’s quite similar to Mitt Romney in 2012, also stuck in the low 40s for most of the campaign season.
As you can see from the graph above, Clinton’s post-primary bounce has yet to stall while Trump is headed south. And his performance in Scotland in the wake of the Brexit vote won’t make things any better for him. .....................
