The Economic Mind of Tim Walz
NPR ^ | 8/13/2024 | Greg Rosalsky (D)

Posted on 08/13/2024 2:45:58 PM PDT by willk

In recent weeks, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz burst from relative obscurity to co-headlining the Democratic presidential ticket. Walz’s career rocket launch was fueled by his cutting political rhetoric, folksy midwestern charm, jovial dad vibes, and progressive principles and accomplishments.

Before Walz was governor and a vice presidential candidate, he wore many hats. He was a congressman, a high school teacher, a union member, a command sergeant major in the Army National Guard, a state-championship-winning high school football coach. While not as dramatic as the political transformation of his electoral counterpart JD Vance, Walz too had a political transformation over the last decade. As governor, Walz established a more progressive record than his time as a congressman, including on gun control and fighting climate change.

As governor, Walz prioritized economic issues — including greater government support for families and children — which have also been a top priority for Kamala Harris. It’s feasible that Walz’s selection could be a signal of the policies that Harris, if elected president, will try to implement during her administration.

As governor, Walz prioritized increasing the economic security of kids.

Here's a quote that the ever-independent, taxpayer paid-for, "NPR" makes up when it guesses, my emphases:

"It’s feasible that Walz’s selection could be a signal of the policies that Harris, if elected president, will try to implement during her administration."

The of course real Schweddy Balls* folks (NPR) understand that Harris-Walz has no platform at all, so NPR just helps out by guessing to guess about fake ideas.

Someone posted his potential income from sources and it totaled about $270,000/yr. Not too shabby a stream for a grifter

“a command sergeant major in the Army National Guard”

A disproven lie, as I understand it. That “fact” has even been scrubbed out by the Harris campaign.

“Was tim walz ever really a command sergeant major?

No, Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, was not a Command Sergeant Major. He served in the Minnesota Army National Guard and held the rank of Sergeant First Class before his retirement. His military career included service as a teacher and a member of the National Guard, but he did not reach the rank of Command Sergeant Major.”

Because she’s not saying anything but empty platitudes, so you have to read “signals”.
