I think the issue is with debt. Both parties are positioning themselves as populists and are going to increase spending but the money has to come from somewhere.

In the fiscal year of 2022, Minnesota’s state debt stood at about 17.75 billion U.S. dollars. Comparatively, the state’s debt was approximately 5.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2000.Jul 5, 2024

Your voting is showing. Debt is the short-attention fixation of the greedy.

What is my vote? How is it showing? Debt is a major concern in the USA with the highest debt to gdp ratio that has ever existed. We exist in a high inflation environment so running large social programs will exacerbate inflation and harm everyone.

These stats mean absolutely nothing and give zero context with how you’ve presented them, and you couldn’t be bothered to clean up your comment when you copy/pasted or give a link so others could follow.

How does this compare to the average increase of debt in other states? What kind of increase in budget did his programs add compared to other programs states initiate? What kind of impact or votes did Walz conduct that actually affected the budget and in what years?

Debt increases, we get no new programs. Minnesota’s debt increases, they get free school lunches, healthcare products, etc etc. Not really a convincing argument presented here or anything to even have a conversation about.
