Imprimis has an excellent article on the history of welfare fraud in the state of Minnesota. This is apparently a longstanding tradition in that state. You will risk your blood boiling if you read the article.
It is written by one of the principals in the Powerline blog. All three of the main contributors to that blog are based in Minnesota, so they have direct experience with that state’s corruption.
By the way, Minnesota also has also been the home base of Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Walter Mondale, Paul Wellstone and Al Franken. Enough said.
YES…POWERLINE IS MY FIRST STOP EVERY MORNING.
They run a great blog, Fred, as you know, and of course it is national in scope. But they are Minnesota experts because they live with the consequences of all this mess.
