Does screwing consumers create jobs?
All you need to know about the latest "job creation" bill added to the special legislative session on jobs by Gov. Scott Walker:
People who successfully sue for injuries would earn a lower interest rate on their judgments than banks and credit card companies who take their customers to court, under a bill Gov. Scott Walker included in the upcoming special legislative session on jobs.
Hey, what more could be fairer?
Paul Ryan opted out of running for Herb Kohl's Senate seat next year. But he left a little something behind. His Medicare plan -- to end Medicare as we know it and replace it with a type of voucher plan that would cost seniors more -- is very much going to be a part of the 2012 Senate race in Wisconsin.
The problem for GOP candidates, who are fighting in the primary to win the party's conservative base, is that while Republican voters tend to like Ryan's plan, most other voters don't. It will take some careful positioning to finesse the problem Ryan has created for them.
Of course, Mark Neumann doesn't need to prove his conservative bona fides. It's former governor Tommy T who's getting flak about being too liberal for 21st Century Republicanism.
Maybe to prove himself Tommy will come out to the right of Neumann on Medicare and Social Security. But that could kill him in November.
This little dance could be fun for Democrats to watch.

Romney's big Wisconsin announcement (Yawn)
The morning scoop from Politico:
SNEAK PEEK - ROMNEY NAMES WISCONSIN CO-CHAIR: Romney will announce today that former state Sen. Ted Kanavas will co-chair his Wisconsin campaign. The coming statement from Kanavas stresses that Romney is "the best candidate to beat President Obama in Wisconsin." The flurry of Romney announcements from outside the early states highlights his head start in organizing for what could be an extended nomination battle.
Well, that should cinch Wisconsin. Ted Kanavas. Wow!
Will anyone else even bother to compete in our primary now?
