forgot to ask but how large is that private sector company that you own and how many people do you employ? Or that private sector company Cystal Sugar who uses tax paid for roads to move their product around? Also whose success can be directly related to the fact the big bad government protects them from having to compete in the free market? Is this the private sector you are taking about? If government does not create jobs then why did Paul Ryan ask for funds from the stimulus package of Obama’s saying it would create jobs?

Congratulations, Jack. You have perfectly recited the Democratic Party’s talking points in an online discussion that had nothing to do with them to begin with.

Keep up the fantastic work, Jack. We’re all counting on you.

Don’t kid yourself. Everyone is on board now…wait for the individual presidents to run to the legislature crying about their ox being gored. Remember Potts?

Instead of being out in the public, you can bet someone is doing the math and running to people with connections of how this would lower enrollment at both UND and NDSU and how that is a bit worse than the end of the world.
