Limiting Government: What Washington Can Learn from Minnesota With Tim Pawlenty
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In the face of a looming fiscal catastrophe, our federal government must make significant and immediate spending cuts. Tim Pawlenty offers a budget realists' perspective on how he was able to accomplish such a feat in Minnesota during his two terms as governor. THUMBS UP if you think Washington could stand to learn a thing or two about slashing spending, and don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more videos from Cato! Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty earned an "A" on Cato's Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors in 2010.

@Joe11Blue No that means they are MUSLIMS. It isnt in their name you idiot. The nation state they originated from lets them run rampant all over the land. They live like kings there with mercedes benzes and gold jewelry. They run shit. Now try to do what every other weak Ron Paultard does and try to turn the conversation into something else. You lose. Period. Muslims are pirates they always have been. Islam is built on raping and pillaging societies. Go read a book. You ingnorant stooge.
-
@KingDingaLing090 They were Pirates. I thought that much was evident by the word PIRATE being in their name. By being Pirates they were also wanted by the Nation State they originated from. I guess you missed that little detail tough guy. You want to go fight Muslim's? Go get your ruck and rifle and go over there yourself. I know you won't, because you're too much of an armchair general coward.
-
@Joe11Blue Don't try to talk anymore. Fuck head. Who do you think the barbary PIRATES were? Muhammad was a pirate too. Just fuck off little boy. Before you get handled.
-
@KingDingaLing090 They never fought war's with a religion you idiot. They were at war with the Barbary "PIRATES". As in a group with no political or statist allegiance. That would be like telling the President that the Navy doesn't have the authority to defend the shipping lanes against the Somali Pirates. That's clearly within the stated power's of the President. You should go read that thing called "The Constitution". LOL! nice Ad-Hom, did you ever serve this country?

Pawlenty was a liberal until he started getting aspirations of higher office. He's far from a conservative. All he did was push off hard spending/cutting decisions until further on down the road so others would have to make a decision. He also was a strong believer in man made global warming, and carbon taxes. Cato should not be supporting this guy at all, he's a fraud. (I'm in MN and have seen his handywork first hand)
-
People can attack Pawlenty if the wish - but stop smearing the United States. America did not create radical Islam - it has existed for more than a thousand years (indeed since the time of Muhammed), and has been attacking Americans (and others) since there has been a United States (remember what Jefferson had to do). P.S. I opposed the Iraq war (and I think the Afghan war is unwinable). But I am sick and tired of this "it is all fault of America" stuff that comes from Ron Paul supporters.

@Joe11Blue Blah blah blah... good read your comic books. You don't know what you are talking about. THe founding fathers didnt go to Congress when they fought their wars against Islam, only a half dozen wars were ever fought on the standards you Paultards think they should be fought. Talking to you is no different than talking to an enemy. On this basis alone I will never vote for Ron Paul and I will tell everyone I know what whiney little bitch he is.

@KingDingaLing090 Germany was state action following Hitler invading FOREIGN NATION'S under the guise of fighting against Communism and Terrorism at the hand's of Jew's and Gypsy's. That sound's very Familiar to what the US is doing now. Stopping Hitler was a good thing. The Korean War was only a bad thing because of the legality of the President not going to Congress first. It set a dangerous precedent. You sound like you benefit from killing Muslim's. Are you part of an organized religion?
-
@KingDingaLing090 Yes, because the Al-Qaeda network's existed before we trained them in the 80's, right? We created the problem is the first place, and here we are funding them in Libya. It's a policing issue. You haven't countered anything I have said here, just thrown Ad-Hom's as if they were all the justification you needed. Taliban is a joke before we entered, they only have control over the non-Farsi populace, which is very small there. Have you ever even been in the military?
-
@Joe11Blue Bullshit. They have been robing western countries since their founding. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Typical Paultard. I don't agree with everything we are doing internationally but that doesn't mean I am anywhere close to believing what you idiots believe. We are in Afgahnistan establishing a presence against the Taliban and radical Islam. We did the same thing in Germany and South Korea against communism. You don't know anything about that either.
-
@KingDingaLing090 It's a policing issue. It always has been. Over time when you stop invading foreign nation's to rob them of their wealth and they learn to trade peacefully with the USA, or rather the USA learns to do the same with them, the issue will resolve itself. This whole tough guy routine is a farce. DO you know what we are actually doing in Afghanistan? Not a damn thing except giving them money and good's. Otherwise we sit around most of the time doing nothing.
-
@PEinHK He should be allowed in perhaps for a debate, in order to be shown how out of whack his ideas about government are. He shouldn't be given a platform to babble on about how 'great' those out-of-whack ideas are.
-
Tim Pawlenty has nothing to do with the libertarian cause, and has supported governmental intrusion and intervention in every area of a citizen's life. Cato, why are you supporting this guy?
-
Cato, if you keep letting statist assholes like this into your building I will begin questioning my donations to you. There is absolutely no chance that this guy would govern in anything close to a libertarian way if elected.
-
@eagleeye1975 Also. It has no relevance what law enforcement agree with or are opposed to. They are there to enforce the law, not to have an opinion.

31.06 Did anyone feel a massive weight lift off their shoulders?
-
24.06 Sounds like he wants to screw people down, not shrink government. Maybe he wants to shrink government spending but he sounds like he is happy to keep the same number of employees. Fundamentally the guy thinks government is best. I could be wrong, this is the first time I hear him
-
@blancaster82 13.58 Pawlenty's answer is for the younger generations to pay on both ends
-
@KingDingaLing090 Surely that is a rhetorical question
