Question Regarding Zero Percent Interest?
#11

Not sure about how in tune you are with MN politics... As to the highlighted above... MN had a 1B+ budget surplus pre Covid 19, we were not in a budget deficit, so the foolish liberal spending dog don't hunt here... They are predicting that there will be a 2B+ budget deficit post Covid 19...
As for Dayton... There is at least one member here that believes that I hate Trump... I don't hate Trump, I just don't like him... I do dislike Dayton as well, and hated him as our governor...
I'm not a fan of Walz either, but at least he was smart enough to let our safe at home order expire tomorrow, and is letting the state open back up... I do wonder about how much what transpired in WI influenced Walz decision?
Valorius, I believe I answered your above quote as well... MN hasn't been running a massive deficit for years, but is projecting a deficit post covid 19...

As to how in tune I am. I grew up there. In Elk River, in fact.
I listen to Bill Bennet in the morning when I'm in Superior or Duluth. And TCNT when I'm in the twin cities (Which is almost daily, since I'm an essential TRUCKER). I try to keep up with my home state. I knew that you had a surplus. And now thanks to the ignorance, of Tim Jong Walz, you have a MASSIVE deficit. He could have saved that by NOT locking down.
BUT, he's a tyrant, and only loves POWER. So, you got locked down. Despite the evidence that was available WORLDWIDE.

Lunker, Rimjob Walz stuck his finger in the air. Saw that the winds have changed and is bending to them. His little cabal of liberal Governors who thought they could band together and stay locked down has been broken up BY THE PEOPLE.

Also, rest assured that even tho Dayton, and Walz were elected, there are still many conservative minded folks that are still fighting here in your home state... No doubt if your keeping up, you know about the lack of a bonding bill in the latest session, and the possibility of Walz calling a special session... You should also remember that Dayton also tried to employ such tactics, and was pretty much stymied by the conservatives in our state legislature... IMHO, they did a pretty good job of keeping Dayton in check, all things considered...
Though it may seem that we're getting a bit of topic here, I would beg to differ... It seemed to me that you were throwing MN under the "Liberal states that have been running at a deficit for years bus"... Which if you've been keeping up, know is not the case... Have a little faith, there are still many conservative minded folks here in yer home state...

No, but you made the claim... IMO the onus is on you to prove it... At least as I remember it, that's the way things used to work around here...
I did find this... It would seem as if of the 9, 4 did partially shut down parts of the state... Based on what "I" perceive as the demographics of the 9 states, the Governors probably made good decisions... I wish our Governor had the the good sense to realize that there were regions in our state that didn't need to be shut down...

Not really concerned about your opinion as to what I should or should not do to satiate your curiosity, especially when you demand in such a fashion.
If you want to know the name of the 7 states that never locked down (It's 7 not 9), google it. I did to double check- and it comes right up. Have fun.

Too illustrate, you initially said 9 states didn't shut down "at all"... I then showed evidence that 4 of those 9 states had a partial shut down... Now you say 7, not 9( So is it 7 or 9???), and your asking me to have fun Googling it ... If you or anyone else can prove what I posted to be wrong, so be it... If not, I've already proved you wrong...

In the amount of time you've spent whining about people linking things for you, you could've looked it up yourself 10x over.

Since my Google is working very well, I knew that wasn't a truth so I then posted... "Name them"... Knowing that you couldn't...
You then changed the # from 9 to 7 states... So you corrected your initial post... Almost... You didn't address my link that suggested that Wyoming, and Utah did have partial lock downs... You can try to prove my link wrong... If you can't, that would bring the # of states that didn't shut down "at all" down to 5... Not sure if that's the truth, but probably won't be digging any further into it...
Ideas, and thoughts are great, posting false realities... Not so much... Thanks for "holding my hand"...
