Great going, States Vs The Federal Govt, we're heading to a Revolution faster and faster yet, Yeehaw.

What with Minnesota since Jesse left Office, it has been in the News a lot lately.

Funny, saw this mentioned of the "Left Wing" and here it is for real in the News, Hmmmm:

5-13-2004 Minn. State Workers to Get Canadian Drugs

ST. PAUL - Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced Thursday a new program that will allow state employees to obtain certain prescription drugs for free if they order the medication from a state-inspected Canadian pharmacy.

The program applies to 45 of the most popular name-brand medicines that do not have generic alternatives. State officials estimate savings of $1.4 million a year because the drugs can be purchased for less in Canada.

Federal law forbids the importation of prescription drugs from Canada, where brand-name medicines can cost half the price...

Minnesota officials expect about 3,000 people to use the program in its first year. Employees would save on average about $180 each year for each medication, while the state would save about $208.

The move steps up Pawlenty's challenge to the federal government's ban on drug imports.
 
It's hard to tell if you're being sarcastic or not. So, I'll run with this... Senator Mark Dayton from Min. accepts only $1 of his salary, the rest goes to paying for bus trips for seniors to Canada to obtain much lower price prescription drugs.

Keep in mind, he is in the family that owns Daytons, Target, Marshall Fields and Mervyns, so he is able to afford this, and then some.
 
He had quite a mess to clean up when he took over as Governor after that jackass Ventura left us with a lot of debt. He (Ventrua) went on a spending spree when he was in office.
Pawlenty came in and slashed spending (gasp...what a concept) and still kept the necessary fuctions of government in place, even though the extremists, from both sides swore that the sky was falling.

I seriously hope this man runs for President someday, he's a very down to earth/common sense type of person with a back bone. We all know that can be very difficult for politicians.

I watched his congressional testimony on CSPAN and would concur with your assessment.

therefore he will be unacceptable to the national political parties.

It is forbidden to have a decent straight shooter in the WhiteHouse. Then who will the special interests justify their existance to

:roll:
 
The powers that be will make him out to be insane like Dean and all the other better choices they have assassinated. Nothing must be allowed to rock the swine and all her full suckled teats.
