The Dayton Dust Bowl: Jobzed
By Mitch Berg
If you own or are employed by one of the 305 small businesses being helped by the JOBZ program right now, you’ll be out of luck.
Dayton’s plan reneges on your agreement and eliminates funding for JOBZ.
Of course, during the Almanac debate a few weeks back, Dayton agreed with… Tom Emmer that it’d be wrong for the state to pull the rug out from under the current JOBZ projects.
Didn’t we have a large institution, with printing presses and transmitters, once upon a time to help us keep track of debate inconsistencies?
So let’s try to keep track here; Dayton wants to propose billions in tax hikes that will gut small business and stymie job creation (in the private market), but he wants to gut a program that actually tries to create (private) jobs?
Why, it’s almost as if “private jobs” aren’t an issue at all for Mark Dayton!

Dayton proposes the State renegotiate its leases for office space to take advantage of the downturn in market rates.
Wait – I thought that was the POINT of a lease, to lock-in a price and thereby avoid market fluctuations.
Turning the state government into the biggest welsher in town is bound to do wonders for the real estate market, long-term, plus make all its bond-holders feel much more secure. Who needs a good reputation, anyway?

Nate, why should he have ever had to learn a thing about real estate when he has enough resources to buy every property he’s ever owned, cash in hand?

There are no “private jobs” in Comrade Dayton’s world. We all work for the State in one way or another. It’s called “fascism”. Or “progressivism”. The terms are interchangable.

You forgot “socialism”, Green One.

Fascism and socialism are conjoined twins.
