The Gang of 203
I've read the Growth and Justice ad, and the many posts at many of our favorite blogs. Righteous anger is the primary response, certainly justified. I should want to get in the fray, too.
Only I don't. Somehow, their plea doesn't bother me. If that's what they believe, so be it. I'm a little disappointed in their reasoning so obviously unfettered by history and reality, but again, so be it. Even if adopted, even if the new funds were not spent as proposed, two billion more is not the end of the world for Minnesota. It would hurt, but the sky wouldn't fall.
Besides, this piece is already all but forgotten, generating the proverbial dead cat bounce. None of the candidates for Governor are talking tax increases, though one never truly knows about Pawlenty.
Let's move on.
