This Just In From Glenn Grothman

But first, to offer a contrast..

Walker's OK with it.  (Capital Times, 3/19/2013)

As is Mark Bugher, who served as Secretary of Revenue from 1988 to 1996 and Secretary of Administration from 1996 to 1999 under Tommy Thompson.

Oh, the horrors!  An interest in poverty!

Blank discusses the fundamental changes occurring in federal policy. Her analysis suggests two challenges: first, that poverty has become harder to address through broad-based economic growth policies. Blank identifies the change in the nature of employment and poverty in the past 20 years. While evidence shows that between 1960 and 1980 a growing economy led to more employment, which was the largest factor in reducing poverty, the positive economic growth of the past two decades has actually seen a slight increase in poverty, especially in the 1990s. Drawing from a growing body of research, Blank suggests a number of reasons why employment has been less effective in leading people out of poverty. Wages for low-skilled workers have fallen more than 20 percent in the past 15 years, coupled with the growing part-time nature of low-wage occupations. Sixty-three percent of all poor families have one worker, yet only 20 percent of these families contain a full-time, year-round worker.

It doesn't take much to figure out Grothman's priorities.
