Typical results from conservative, republican policies. This is purely a result of Kasich and the conservative majorities in the State Senate and State House. From their first day, ramming through legislation, with little or no debate, little or no public hearings. A governing style, more akin to totalitarian fascists dictatorships, than a Constitutional Republic, that should be abhorrent to all Americans.

Conservative policies and methods have and continue to hammer public and private Ohio workers, consumers, schools, students and children, retirees and working seniors, and others. Oh, lest I forget, elimination of every environmental safeguard they can. All in the name of budget restraint and fiscal responsibility.

Incredibly, at the same time transferring more and more of the 'savings' to corporate, Wall Street, and other financial cronies, engaging in sweet heart state deals with campaign contributors and their companies, all with promises of growth and employment and a golden age for Ohio. These benefactors rarely, if ever, have used this conservative government largesse, provided by federal or state conservative government in states across the country currently or anytime in our history, and turned it into job creation and better wages, safer working conditions, or better benefits. You know, those things that were promised and most often guaranteed will happen, otherwise known as scamming the American people. Can you imagine the largesse actually being used for job creation? Boy, that'll be the day.

In less than a half a year the republican Governor and republican run statehouse have managed to return this state to rising unemployment, increased poverty, falling wages, threats to clean air and water, threats to our freedom and civil rights. Two years of consistent falling unemployment rates in Ohio since the Bush Cheney recession began and that were falling as a result of President Obama, Congressional Democrat's, and Governor Strickland's policies.

Kasich and conservative state legislators have brought us to this. All as a result of tired old republican and conservative policies that have failed every time they are trotted out and sold to the public, only to wreck the economy, whether in Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, or the country, take your pick, name a conservative run state. The results.....are always the same: more people out of work, more families and children needing public assistance, increased homelessness and hunger, decreasing wages, greater and greater disparity of wealth, increased poverty and despair, attacks on education and science, women and minorities, civil rights and personal liberty.

Conservative policies and philosophy do not provide anything, none, nada, nothing toward the betterment of our society; Conservatives provide nothing, nothing toward any remedies to our state and nations debt or sputtering economy. What conservatives offer is truly un-American, treasonous behavior, uncompromising, willful sabotaging of the American economy and sovereignty ... and here we all are again, a conservative manufactured catastrophe that is only being made worse by conservatives. That is the Republican model for America's future.
