    I think the issue is with debt. Both parties are positioning themselves as populists and are going to increase spending but the money has to come from somewhere.

    In the fiscal year of 2022, Minnesota’s state debt stood at about 17.75 billion U.S. dollars. Comparatively, the state’s debt was approximately 5.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2000.Jul 5, 2024

        What is my vote? How is it showing? Debt is a major concern in the USA with the highest debt to gdp ratio that has ever existed. We exist in a high inflation environment so running large social programs will exacerbate inflation and harm everyone.
