In on this one for more propaganda updates from leftist members here.

Peace is war.

To have one of the "best economies in the country" these days all you have to have is a .0001% growth rate or at least be at the top of those with a negative growth rate.

The facts? How long do you think it will work? Will it work better if you tax the people even more and raise the minimum wage even more? Why not?It will always work for a time until you run out of other peoples money.

It does take time for productive and successful people and or business to move out of any area they the feel is not working in their best interests. It does take time for competition to crush or undermine unsustainable economic models.

If this was not true, then countries like Russia would be an economic powerhouse with the majority of its people living well above everyone else.

Even you would have to acknowledge the logic of these statements?

Like it or not, conservatives have to confront this story.  Is it true?  Why?  Did other things account for the improvements?

Much like tax CUTS, tax increases take time to score dynamically.  If you raise taxes suddenly, no one has time to move out of the way.  Eventually they will.  See California.

Reagan's 1981 cuts resulted in increased deficits for the first 24 months or so; it took about 6 years before revenues doubled.

And Walker went from deficit to surplus with tax CUTS.

So we will see.  But this should be examined carefully by someone like Heritage.

You assert "facts" not in evidence.

The article is a progressive left lie from the start. The article is, propaganda.

Firstly, Minnesota was not hit as hard by the economic downturn as other states. Much of this due to the business mix here. A business mix based on technology, and facilitated by a workforce educated well above the national average.

Let's deconstruct some of the articles "facts":

1) The article asserts that Dayton inherited a projected 6.2b budget deficit (Minnesota runs a biannual budget cycle, so that is 6.2b for the 2-years of July 2011 to June 2013). The fact is the deficit was a prediction that never materialized due to Dayton was running on the budget he INHERITED from the previous year's legislature and Republican governor. This means the deficit that never materialized was mitigated by a budget designed and passed by Republicans who showed great restraint in both taxation and in spending.

2) "Dayton raised the income tax in his first four years in office". The income tax was raised in April 2013, more than two years into his term, and only after the Democratic party won majorities in both the MN House and MN Senate. These taxes have had only one year (2014) to impact the economy of Minnesota and we are already seeing the negative results.

3) Dayton added 172,000 new jobs to the Minnesota economy during his first term. The claim comes from an October 2014 press release and ignores that for the first two years of his term Governor Dayton was running on the budget from the previous Republican Governor and majority Republican legislature and then on a budget drafted by a majority Republican legislature for the next two years. In other words, for his first term Dayton was running on Republican designed budgets (Minnesota runs on a two-year budget cycle).

4) A current projection of $1B surplus. Today, a new projection is due from MNOMB. If the projection is not revised down, the Democrats plan on increasing spending to spend all of the surplus and permanently increasing government spending.

TLDR: Dayton 's economic "success" in Minnesota is due to Republican budgets. Dayton inherited a Republican Governor's budget for his first two years in office (budget cycle of July 2011-June 2013) and then had to work with a Republican legislature budget (to include inducing a government shutdown and eventually accepting the Republican budget) for his next two years (budget cycle of July 2013-June 2015). His all-democrat-budget kicks in this summer.

Do you know how long it takes economic policies of a government to effect an economy?  Fuck, the minimum wage increase hasn't really even taken effect and they are giving it credit for creating jobs.  General improving economic conditions coming out of a recession are helpful as wel.  Still, 16% of homeowners (about national average) are underwater, however only 3% of borrowers are in foreclosure.  House prices are still down 8.6% on Case-Shiller index even with some of the rapid appreciation in cities the last year to year and a half.  

So in regards to taxes, Minnesota has one of the highest burdens on the poor especially with new wheelage and cigarrette taxes coming.

First thing I thought too.

Raising taxes does not spurr economic growth. There has to something new in the area that is bringing in wealth.

Ah, the oil boom up there. I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

It is not true and it is very narrowly focused, excluding a ton of economic factors.  One very large example of those economic factors would be the benefits it reaps from the gigantic oil boom going on in its neighbor, ND.

We have benefitted a lot from the oil boom in North Dakota.  We have at least one new business in town doing a good amount of hiring and paying well that only builds and maintains oil equipment.  Lots of people go there to work but keep residency here so they pay state income taxes to MN.

They fail to mention that the Governors biggest tax hike was on tobacco which has a far greater impact on the poor than anyone else.

Excellent point..I know at least a dozen guys who went to work out there and significantly upped their incomes.. most of them are layed off now or reduced hours because of the drop in oil prices but they were making some good jack when it was up.  MN contractors with MN residents as employees working out there no doubt helped Dayton

One question pertaining to the article:

1: I'm assuming that most people to have their income increased by a minimum wage hike would be hired by those big, evil corporations.

So. Let's say that every Wendy's restaurant employee in Minnesota gets a $2 raise. There are 15 employees per store, each working 30 hours a week, and there are 69 Wendy's.

Those Wendy's employees will make an extra collective $3.2MM that year, and every penny will increase the median wage.

Would:

A: Wendy's, Inc. take that loss? So essentially, Minnesota is increasing their income at the expense of another state (In this case, Ohio. )?

or

B: Even if all the increase is absorbed in Minnesota by higher prices, now all of the residents of MN are basically supplementing these people.

It looks good on paper when you look at only median wage, but the money has to come from somewhere.

3M won't invest in Minnesota. 3M is headquartered here, but is on record that they will not build anything new in this state.

The progressives that celebrate the lies in the HuffPo opinion piece are also mad at Minnesota because only whites are doing well in Minnesota. The cognitive dissonance on the progressive left must be difficult to live with.

Mark Dayton hides his personal money in South Dakota.

The reason that he has a billion dollar surplus is that he raised the budget from $32 billion to $35 billion & taxes a corresponding amount, THREE billion.  Thus we've had a net tax increase of two billion dollars.  ...which prompts the question, what's going to happen to the extra billion dollars?  I haven't heard a single proposal to return it to the tax payers.

When you go all in including unfunded liabilities, texas has 5x population and 3.94x the debt so you are wrong.  People like to leave stuff out like those pesky pension obligations.  Also, Minnesota is relatively racially homogenous compared to somewhere like Texas (85% white) and don't have to deal with things like millions of undocumented.

It is no secret here that 3M has not added to its workforce in the state for years.  For a long time now whenever there is news of the expanding or adding new facilities it is happening in other states.  I would be willing to bet that Texas has added more 3M jobs in the last decade than Minnesota has.
