Nothing Succeeds Like Success?
By Mitch Berg
When the state economy, dragged the the abysmal national economy – got dragged down last year (albeit to a much lesser extent than the rest of the nation, though much much much more than neighboring low-tax, low-“service” North and South Dakota), the local Sorosphere and lefty pundocracy leapt about like poo-flinging monkeys on Red Bull; “It’s Timmy’s recession! It’s Timmy’s recession!”, they yapped, and there was even evidence that some of them knew what a “recession” was.
So with the news that it wasn’t that bad, and that Minnesota – fresh off Pawlenty’s successful rear-guard action against the DFL’s “Happy To Spend Money Like Crack Whores With Stolen Gold Cards” attempted spending spree last session – is S recovering faster than most of the nation (at least, the parts of the nation that got into trouble by being high-tax and high “service”in the first place)…:
The state gained 2,000 jobs in November, according to figures released Thursday that also contained a revision of October’s results that showed twice as many jobs were created that month as originally thought.
“Compared to where we have been, this is just really good news. I am not ready to start singing ‘Happy Days Are Here Again,’ but it looks like we are headed in the right direction,” said state economist Tom Stinson.
