Amy Klobuchar announces bid for Minnesota governor

While Amy Klobuchar picked better weather than when she launched her bid for the White House, little has changed with her. She's still the do-nothing DFL politician who's been protected by Twin Cities print and TV media. Sen. Klobuchar announced her bid to become Minnesota's next lefty governor by touting "she is one of the most bipartisan senators in the U.S. Senate." She once issued a statement announcing that she'd worked with a GOP senator from Missouri to get the budget increased for advertising for national parks. That year, I can't tell you how nervous I was that the advertising budget for national parks wouldn't be sufficient. Thank God St. Amy rushed in and saved the day with that bill.

The truth is that she's one of the most partisan legislators in DC. After then-Speaker Pelosi pushed the American Rescue Plan Act through the House, economists from both sides of the aisle criticized the bill while predicting that the bill would cause inflation to skyrocket. At the time of the bill's signing in March of 2021, inflation was 1.9%. By July of 2022, inflation had soared to 9.1%, the highest inflation had been since the Carter administration.

A pair of Democrats (Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema) voted against the bill, meaning that the bill had bipartisan opposition. Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote. So much for bipartisanship. Sen. Klobuchar voted, along with 59 other Democrats, to create the UNAffordabble Care Act. Since then, health insurance prices have gone through the roof. Since then, St. Amy has voted for the health insurance companies' subsidies instead of fixing the problem she created.

She's fantastic at promoting herself as Ms. Bipartisanship. In reality, she's Ms. Economic Illiterate. She's a partisan hack who plays the role of Ms. Bipartisanship on TV. In her announcement videotape, Klobuchar was long on platitudes and short on reality:

She's great at self-promotion but terrible at fixing problems. BTW, she said she wants ICE out of Minnesota. She didn't say she wanted to fix anything. That might've been the most focus grouped entry speech in Minnesota history.
