When will Walz wield the fiscal discipline pen?

Tim Walz frequently highlights 'the investments' Minnesota has made in K-12 Education or in Minnesota Department of Human Sacrifices Services. How much of the K-12 Education spending was spent on Feeding Our Future fraud. How much of the DFL's 'investment' in the Department of Human Services was spent on billions of dollars of fraud? In 2023, when the DFL had a trifecta (DFL governor and DFL majorities in the House and Senate), the DFL passed controversial bills like the Trans Refuge Bill, the Blackout Bill in addition to raising taxes and license tab fees by a total of $10,000,000,000 ($10 billion), not to mention raising biennial spending by 38%.

Apparently, unlike productive people, Gov. Walz doesn't think using the word no is productive. It's apparent that bureaucrats at DHS think saying no isn't productive. The thing that's got to be weighed against raising spending and taxes is limiting spending so individuals can save for their retirements, their kids' college education or save money to start a small business.

BTW, while we still want Fortune 500 companies, we want to make conditions great for starting small companies that employ 50 people or less because that's where the vast majority of economic growth comes from. As we've seen through the Feeding Our Future scandal or the Houing Stabilization Services (HSS) scandals, we've got a strong NGO and NPO sector, much stronger than our purely private sector.

Education Minnesota, the primary public school union in Minnesota, pretty much dictates education policy:

MIKE MULCAHY: Well, Tim, he's adding about $1.2 billion in spending to the $65 billion two-year plan he proposed earlier. Some of this money comes for public safety. He had originally proposed spending about $300 million and sending that to local communities to decide how to spend it to improve public safety.

He's going to up that to about a half a billion dollars. So that's one big proposal. He's also giving more money to local governments in the form of local government aid and county program aid. That's for a total of about $40 million for each of those programs for each of the next two years.

And he's also proposing spending money to remove lead pipes, $240 million. And that's a proposal that the lieutenant governor is backing as well. And then, Tim, finally, what he wants to do is add a $2,500 tax credit for people who buy electric vehicles. So that would be on top of the federal tax credit that the Biden administration put back in for doing that.

How much money are we spending on high-quality teachers? Don't tell me 'they're all high-quality teachers', either. If they're that high-quality, why do our test scores keep dropping?

Further, we need more money getting into classrooms on subjects like math, science, computers and other subjects where you can get a productive, high-paying job. In Edina, our taxes are paying for classes that teach activism. How will that help us compete in an industrialied world?

Listen to this propagandist:

Again, if funding is THE determining factor, why are test scores dropping?

Minnesota fraud gets national attention

Image
The Walz administration is getting nationwide attention, though it isn't the type of attention political administrations typically seek. Sohrab Ahmari didn't bury the lede when he wrote "There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland." Imagine the Outrage If... Imagine the outrage if "Hassan and her alleged co-conspirators recruited Somali parents’ children into autism therapy services — even if a child did not have an autism diagnosis — facilitating fraudulent claims. Parents reportedly received monthly kickbacks ranging from $300 to $1,500 per child, with some allegedly threatening to go to other fraud networks unless their rates were increased." It doesn't end there: Sure enough, both the number of autism providers and the rate of diagnosis have ballooned, with Somali activists insi...

Jaylani Hussein's phobia of whites?

A frequent reader of this blog sent me a picture showing gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson surrounded by Somalis following a November 2017 St. Cloud City Council meeting. This is that picture: Recently, a different frequent reader of this blog sent me a letter highlighting Jaylani Hussein's paranoia of white people: We are asking every member of our community to stay vigilant. If you see threats, harassment, or hateful content online, especially targeting Somali or Muslim communities in Minnesota, please report them immediately to CAIR-Minnesota and local authorities. We are tracking these developments closely. What’s happening: Our community is under coordinated attack In the last 48 hours, former President Donald Trump announced that he will immediately end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants in Minnesota, a move that could tear families apart and send people back to a country they haven’t seen in decades. He justified this dangerous decision using false, I...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
