Despite the spin you will hear from RINOs, the big government uniparty budget cements in tens of billions in spending that originated from Democrat trifecta spending. The second largest budget in MN history has been the “win” that spineless GOP Reps have been praising, however, there is more opposition for this plan from the Senate GOP.

The Senate is controlled by Democrats by a single vote (34 Dem to 33 GOP) but they have ruled with an iron fist and have kept all Dems voting as a block on all key floor votes. Because of this, the Senate GOP has been voting more conservatively as a whole compared to the House GOP which controls the Speakership and has a shared majority with Dems. Senate GOP leader Mark Johnson did not participate in the press conference with Walz pushing this deal.

GOP Senator Eric Pratt (SD54) is by no means a liberty champion or true conservative, but he did call out a truth that House GOP leaders refuse to admit: The House GOP/Walz budget cements in Democrat trifecta-era spending. 

Pratt argues that the Environment and Natural Resources spending and policy bill will increase spending by $11.7M in the next biennium, increases spending by $30M over the next four years, and shifts costs onto local governments that could lead to the highest property tax rate in Minnesota history! This clip can be seen here.

Anytime Tim Walz is pushing something forward, you can almost always assume that it is big government garbage. Unfortunately, RINOs like House Speaker Lisa Demuth are pushing this deal and arguing it is the largest spending cut in history. However, this is only because Democrats increased spending by around $19B during their most recent trifecta. This means that the uniparty big government budget is still around $14B more than pre-covid spending levels! It would be like if you basement was flooded with 19 feet of water and the GOP bragging when it is only 14 feet of water! See analogy below:

Corrupt RINOs will try to fool the grassroots into believing that the budget is a win but conservatives have been woken up and no longer believing crooked career politicians. A4L will continue exposing the corruption of our state and fighting for the true conservative position. Our mission is to protect liberty for the next generation and we are not going to do it with massive spending pushed through unconstitutional omnibus bills!
