Affordability, DFL Style?

I'm old enough to remember when license tabs fees dropped in price each year. I even remember when tabs were cheaper than your car payment. I'm betting that you're old enough to remember those times, too. Thanks to the 2023 DFL Trifecta, which spent the entire projected $18,000,000,000 surplus then raised taxes and fees by another $10,000,000,000, the days of affordable license tab fees are history and then some. When the House GOP tried returning to the pre-Trifecta prices, the DFL (this is rich) accused the House GOP of "blowing a $740,000,000 hole in the surplus." Let's compare a $740 million hole with a $28 BILLION HOLE in the 2023 surplus. The DFL Trifecta hole of $28,000,000,000 is 38 times larger than the PROJECTED $740,000,000 hole. And the DFL is LECTURING THE GOP ABOUT AFFORDABILITY??

The reason I'm writing about this is because of this Alpha News article. It reports "A 25-year veteran of vehicle sales in central Minnesota says customers are now calling in disbelief after opening renewal notices for their tabs — in some cases finding fees that rival or even exceed their monthly car payments. 'It is more than my car payment,' the veteran salesman told Alpha News, describing what many customers say when they call after receiving their renewal notice."

The best way to thank the DFL for their anti-family, pro-government spending spree is to throw the bums out the next time they're up for re-election. For those of you who have a Republican representing you in either the House or Senate, vote Republican so we can return to spending sanity. The DFL Trifecta bill, as explained in this report, isn't sanity:

The GOP bill to lower license tab fees was shot down by the DFL in committee. Saying that the DFL is pro-affordability is akin to saying that arsonists want firemen stationed on each street corner. The DFL is a governing mess. That's if you can say that what they're doing is governing.

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

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...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
