Despite a staggering legacy of lies, exaggerations, and stolen valor, vice presidential nominee Tim Walz told ABC’s” The View” Monday he speaks “honestly”.
” I think being a teacher, being a mentor, I only speak from my brain. I speak actually. I speak at the moment”, Walz said as a depressing justification for his persistent propensity to deceive in ways that rival the worst in present social history.
Walz has fabricated myths about his defense service, invented myths about historical events, and even fabricated details about his own legal history. But the only threat he poses to the nation is not just his deception. His career as Minnesota’s government has been severe, with devastating economic policies, prevalent fraud, and skyrocketing crime rates leaving the state in shambles.
If this is any evidence of what would happen if we were given the keys to the White House, our country do suffer a significant blow. Walz may be disqualified from holding any company, let alone the vice president.
Let’s begin with the business. Under Walz, Minnesota’s economy has experienced its slowest growth in over two years. Prior to Walz, Minnesota had two governors of eight-year terms: Tim Pawlenty ( Republican ) and Mark Dayton ( Democrat ). Pawlenty, who led Minnesota through the Great Recession, however averaged annual growth rates of 1.75 percent. Dayton, who governed thereafter amidst reasonably good financial times nationwide, averaged growth rates of 2.14 percentage.
Under Walz, however, Minnesota has suffered an sluggish rate of growth of 1.41 cent. Despite the pandemic and its severe effect, Walz’s performance in comparison to other states post-Covid is also poor. In the second quarter of this year, Minnesota’s rise plummeted to 48th in the country. In 2023, it was 43rd, and in 2022 it was 36th. With respect to career development, from January 2020 to December 2023, Minnesota ranked ill at 37th in the country.
Under Walz, there has only been state growth in Minnesota. The state budget increased by 38 percent in a single congressional session, which would render Kim Kardashian flush. One of the most careless decisions a Minnesota government has ever made is to do this in the country’s economic decline. Then the condition is on its approach to long-term fundamental imbalances.
Under Walz, Minnesota rapidly transitioned from being praised for excellent governance to being a condition known for huge fraud, aside from the fiscal issues. The largest pandemic-era scams in the nation resulted from a Minnesota volunteer siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars in national Covid aid intended to give food to hungry children. A federal prosecutor went so far as to formally reproach Walz for lying about how his presidency funded the system.
The Feeding Our Future controversy is often covered in federal media, but what’s left out is that it’s only the start of something. The Walz administration allowed the theft of$ 200 million in cash meant for frontline worker bonuses and other funds intended for pandemic first responders. Minnesota is currently facing a astounding$ 500 million in lost tax dollars as a result of Medicaid fraud in dementia services applications and other crises. And what has Walz done? Zero. No one was fired. While he was really praised by state leaders, his watch was stolen by fraudsters.
As Walz lesions tax money due to fraud, Minnesota’s education system has taken a tailspin. From 2014 to 2023, reading skills dropped by 8.2 percentage points, and mathematics skills fell by 14.2 percent positions, despite significant increases in education spending. Walz has failed in all of these areas, besides spending more on a structure that, despite the countless excellent instructors, is failing our children.
An extremely bleak portrait is revealed when one looks at offense in Minnesota. In 2023, deaths in Minneapolis were 50 percent higher than in 2019. Statewide, there were 181 deaths in 2023, representing roughly a 75 percent increase compared to the time before Walz became government.
And of course, Walz’s reaction to the George Floyd unrest was horrible. He refused to call up the National Guard for weeks as Minneapolis burned. This delay allowed the chaos to escalate unchecked, resulting in what is estimated to be more than$ 500 million in damage, making it the second-costliest instance of local unrest in U. S. history, behind only the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The damage done to individuals and communities, nevertheless, is unimaginable.
Americans who are considering supporting Walz must be well-versed in both his deceit and his horrifying track history. He is America’s worst government. Imagine that your own child’s education is deteriorating year after year, or that your community is becoming more harmful. Americans may be troubled by Walz’s rests. But they ought to be terrified by what he has done to Minnesota and what he might have done to the rest of the land.
