Don’t be Minnesota.
From the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
Don’t Minnesota my state: Land of 10,000 Lakes becomes a political punching bag.
The Star Tribune is completely baffled by this development, which they view as wholly undeserved. The Star Tribune blames “conservative candidates” and Trump for the phenomenon.
The Star Tribune tracks down a political science professor who attributes the state’s unwanted status entirely to a Trump “grudge.”
No mention is made of the $10 billion (with a “b”) in welfare fraud, which led to a crackdown on illegal immigration, which revealed a metro region’s economy to be entirely dependent on illegal aliens’ labor and illegal aliens’ buying power, both enabled by massive social spending.
With the federal government money firehose cut off and the aliens themselves sent abroad, the Twin Cities metro area is in dire straights. They have nothing else to fall back on except your tax dollars.
Star Tribune columnist Evan Ramstad writes today,
Minnesotans shouldn’t lose faith in their charities. They’re not driving the fraud.
They are and Minnesotans should. Ramstad falsely writes,
Only one nonprofit organization, the food-distribution charity Feeding Our Future, has been embroiled in a major fraud against the federal and state government this decade. It’s the big one, to be sure.
Not true. Feeding Our Future was a nonprofit corporation. But it coordinated a network including hundreds of other nonprofits stealing taxpayer money. And it was not the only nonprofit caught up in major fraud prosecutions over the past few years.
Just yesterday, I reported on another Minneapolis nonprofit that continues to receive taxpayer grants after being proven to have overbilled the state more than $1 million. Reporter Lou Raguse of KARE-11 TV (NBC) filed a video report on the nonprofit,
Minnesotans should lose faith in the state’s criminal justice system. The past few weeks have seen four (4) defendants sentenced to probation in both state and federal courts in cases each involving separate multi-million-dollar taxpayer frauds.
Crime pays in Minnesota. Crime pays in Minnesota because Democrats use fraud money to buy votes and to recycle political campaign contributions.
Cui bono.
