The DFL's affordability LIE exposed

The DFL is about to have an affordability crisis. They don't have a crisis because I haven't laid out the truth ... YET! Let's look at the truth of who caused the affordability crisis and why we haven't gotten rid of the high prices. First, it's important to remind people how we got the high prices in the first place. Thanks to Speaker Pelosi's 'leadership' and Amy Klobuchar's cowardice, Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan, which spent $1,900,000,000,000 at a time when 3 important things were happening.

First, inflation was 1.4% the day President Trump left office. Next, the economy was growing at a 6.5% rate in the first quarter of 2021 after growing at a 4.8% rate in the last quarter of 2020. There was no need to stimulate the economy at that point! Period! Third, Steven Ratner, Obama's chief economist, warned against passing the bill. So did Lawrence Summers, Clinton's final Treasury Secretary. Just 15 months later, inflation hit 9.1%. Is that the Democrats' definition of affordability?

Meanwhile, back in Minnesota, the DFL Trifecta spent 2023 spending every penny of a projected $18,000,000,000 surplus THEN raising taxes by another $10,000,000,000. Unfortunately, we're not done yet. This past week, the DFL mayors in Minneapolis and St. Paul announced 11.3% and 6.8% property tax increases respectively. That isn't the definition of affordabiity, either, though the DFL apparently thinks that's the definition. Unfortunately, I'm still not done. I wrote this article to highlight how derelict in their financial duties the DFL is:

"Minneapolis is currently facing a budget shortfall of approximately $60 million. To rectify that, Mayor Jacob Frey has proposed a dramatic 11.3% increase in the city’s property tax levy and has recommended that Minneapolis cut 100 city jobs. However, the city is currently partnering with the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis to find the next 'Minneapolis Poet Laureate.' That person will be paid $16,000 by the city."
To say that Frey is nucking futts is understatement. The DFL telling me the definition of affordabiity is like J.J. McCarthy talking about great QB play. Give me a break:

I'm not done yet, though I've given readers an exstensive list of the DFL's irresponsible spending habits. In a word association game, Minnesota and affordability aren't a match.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

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...
