“It’s the Economics, Stupid”. No offense intended, but rather my attempt at a play on words. The Minnesota bridge collapse last summer happened because of a lack of maintenance. The Governor had won his election because he promised “No new taxes.” He knew or should have know the bridge needed repair. A number of people under him for sure knew. He had appointed his Lieutenant Governor to head up the State Department of Transportation. There is nothing in her resume to suggest that she has any significant road and bridge ability or experience, but her dual roles “saved money.” So, money was not spent where it should have been. This helped the Governor keep his “No New Taxes” slogan alive. The bridge collapsed during rush hour and thirteen people died.
There is no need for me to go into the details of the fatal bus crash; it is fresh in our minds. Few illegal immigrants would be in Minnesota if they did not bring economic benefit to employers and also to the consumer.
The head of the state government gets most of the credit for the bridge collapse, but the people who voted him into office because of the taxes promise need to share the blame with him. The employers and other benefactors of the illegal workers are responsible for them being here. Someplace in a physics text books it says “ For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Thus, no tax money, no bridge. A cheap labor pool also has its consequences. Simply put, we get nothing for nothing.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
