Hey, that gives me an idea - how about a stste constitutional amendment that say the state cannot collect taxes during any period when the government is shut down due to a lack of budget, and cannot collect them retroactively?
I myself just mastered the art and science of $0.50 pot pie. After a 10 hour workday and spending $6/gas driving home, pop a microwaveable kind in for 5 minutes, add half a can of beef stew or chicken and dumplings - $1/can- and with a little cheese melted in you got some right nice grub for $1.00.
If I were in charge, the first thing I would do is stop giving food stamps to fat people.
I believe practical economic skills are sadly lacking in the inner city.
If anybody’s hungry/poorly nourished, it’s because of poor choices and lack of common sense.
That was my point. All those benefits an the kids are probably eating crap....
Agree.... Big families are good things if you can care for em.....yourself.
Stay safe.
Tax deadlines still in place during Minnesota shutdown
Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Despite the Minnesota government shutdown, you still have to pay your state taxes. But don’t expect to receive any tax refunds for now.

Dayton’s cynical shutdown

Dayton’s plan is appalling — not only for the services it deems “critical” but, more important, for those it does not. For example, the governor plans to stop all aid payments to schools.
Additionally, health care providers who serve Minnesotans on medical assistance will also go without payment. And at a legislative hearing this week, an administration official acknowledged that bridge assessments also did not make Dayton’s list, apparently failing to meet the governor’s “critical service” standard.

Dayton is hiding behind the state’s courts and Constitution to justify a cynical and draconian plan motivated more by politics than principle. For evidence, contrast Dayton’s shutdown plan with those that preceded it.
Contingency planning for a government shutdown is nothing new to this state. Gov. Tim Pawlenty developed one prior to the state’s 10-day partial shutdown in 2005, and Gov. Jesse Ventura planned for a shutdown that was ultimately averted in 2001.
A comparison of the plans is telling. Dayton has deemed as “critical” not only his media and communications staff, but also staff at his official residence. Among those employed at the governor’s mansion are Dayton’s chef and gardener.
In 2001, by comparison, Ventura planned to all but shutter the mansion. Aid payments to schools? They were included in the Ventura and Pawlenty plans.

The useless female gets $3,600 a month because she can’t figure out how to get free birth control pills. Screw that. The least she can do is clean out pig stys for $3,600 a month.
This country is filled up with too many fat-ass liberal females whose sole purpose is to dump kids on us she expects normal people to support. Enough. If you’re dumping more than one kid on society and expect support, you can’t vote. That will destroy the fascist Rat party.
My Dad was the oldest of 11. He was seven when the depression hit. They never took government handouts. A few of his siblings have 7, 8, 9 kids. No welfare. They did take $ from the GI bill after WW2 and studied their butts off. I think 5 of the 11 became engineers.
Then Governor Goofy should have signed any of the three balanced budgets the Republican legislature provided him.
Yer Dad earned that in blood an sweat ....
Anyone who claims GI bill or retirement pay is welfare is an idiot.
Kick their ass or try...:o)
Hope yer well an get time to celebrate this nations independence day with family, friends an fellow patriots who still love this county.
Stay Safe...
Now we are getting somewhere. The real picture!
Why do you suppose teenaged girls today are in such a hurry to be 'single moms'?? Because it's one of the best paying easiest jobs they can find. And they get to party like whores to get on the bread wagon.
This Country is getting exactly what it's been paying for. The Government has been paying to destroy the traditional family and work incentive since Johnson's 'Great Society Program". Johnson didn't declare 'War On Poverty'! He declared war on traditional American values. After 50 years, he's won! We're now becoming an immoral Marxist state.
Read the comments section of that article to understand why the state is in such a mess.
Minnesota - It is becoming the Illinois of the Midwest.
Many a marriage turned out nicely between a man and a woman who HAD to get married. It was far easier to get the "Dad" and make him pay. Unfortunately the new ways of glossing over the state of non-marriage, seems to have brought UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
The recalcitrant begger goes free to impregnate other women. Laughing his backside off, as society looks after his offspring.
