March 15, 2010: The budget fight heads to the Minnesota Supreme Court:

The argument before the court today centers on Pawlenty's cuts to a food program, but the outcome could have big political and economic implications.

This is an open discussion. Minnesota Public Radio is carrying live coverage (listen online) but I'd really like to listen to your reactions and thoughts.

As always, you're welcome to link to your related Gather articles or other online resources. Your comments & articles may be quoted on Minnesota Public Radio or American Public Media web sites.

TAX THE RICH !!!!

Tax the millionaires a bit more.

They'll still be rich, after. The rich having super shopping powers only goes so far to stimulate the economy. We need good schools. We need health services for the poor.

We DON'T want to start looking like a Dickens novel !!!!

Who is John Galt?

I have been sickened by Pawlenty's actions of late. Denying health care for the poor is so unconscionable in the economic climate we have now. His abuse of the executive branch's rights has been so extreme, I am happy to see him facing consequences, even if it means some hard economic times. Viva la Minnesota.

And what happens if he wins?

Pawlenty is a joke.

He wants to be the next Minnesota Politician to not become President.

He has pulled a Romney and is trying to turn into a Super Duper Ultra Red State Conservative - and he doesn't care who he throws under the bus to win the Republican Nomination.

And our state budget is sustainable? Can an economic recovery come from more taxation? If both the federal and state governments want to squeeze the rich, just how many golden eggs are left?

Who is John Galt?
