Minnesota stimulus
The candidates did not seem to spend as much time in Minnesota as other states. Of course living in Iowa I saw them almost nonstop for the past year. I would have thought that they could have increased Minnesota tourism travel by a significant amount if they had spent that much time up there. Minnesota is a large state without too many large population areas, but they to care about their politics and would have traveled some distances just to hear the candidates positions on the subjects they are interested in. When they drive those distances they don’t just turn around an go home either. They find a place to spend the night and they find a place to eat. They may even work a shopping trip in as long as they are in the big city. Talk about an economic stimulus package. With that many people spending that much money Minnesota could have turned their economy around without federal help. But the candidates aren’t interested in fixing problems, oh no they are only interested in talking about how they will fix things if they get elected. You have to give them your vote before they will do anything, they won’t do it out of the goodness of their hearts.
