Comment worth noting is an example of what you can
do for your state and country, by Ann Corcoran 5/24/18
From
time to time, I post what I call “comments worth noting” that have been sent to
me or in this case published on social media. This (below) is a Facebook entry
from Peggy Traeger Tierney in Minnesota.
Readers ask me all the time, what can I do? Well, this is a prime example. Help
educate your fellow citizens with a little investigative work of your own and
then find a way to get it out more broadly—through Facebook as Peggy has done,
through twitter, via a letter to the editor, or consider writing your own blog
(goodness knows we need more citizen journalists!).
In
Minnesota we were told by the bright minds in the legislature that they couldn’t figure out what the refugee
population there is costing the taxpayers, well here is one piece of the
answer.
More
recently the outrageous revelation that massive fraud had
been uncovered with Somali-run publicly-supported daycare centers has
Minnesotans again demanding an accounting. You too can do this!
See
the original article to see the data from the Minnesota DHS website at
The
welfare expenses total $13 billion a year. $10.9 billion are Medicare expenses.
The other $2.2 billion a year are for food stamps, disability, rent subsidies,
daycare assistance and other welfare programs.
This post
is filed in my ‘Comments Worth Noting/Guest posts’ category.
By the way, one of my top posts of all time is this one (2011) about how so many Somalis first arrived
in Minnesota thanks to Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services of MN, and
then World Relief. One of
the reasons those federal refugee contractors chose Minnesota—generous welfare!
