That’s what happens when you try to teach Republicans a lesson by giving control to tax and spend happen DFL’ers.

I always hate to rain on people’s parades, but we need to look long term at the risks the politicians are putting the taxpayers in.

I would have probably considered that before trying to teach Republicans a lesson because you can’t really undo what’s been done. But I supposed you could try to keep the DFL from making it worse next term by voting for Republicans this November.

Or maybe more expanded government is a worthwhile price to pay to be able to teach Republicans a lesson. I don’t know, I hope not, but then I didn’t think it was in 2006 either, so who knows what conservatives are thinking.
