I am a fan of bold product moves. The go with your strengths and be honest kind of products. Put your money into making something better or cheaper, I'll find out its good if it is on my own. I have this box of Fiber One Raisin Bran here and it says right on the box, "Tastes better then Kellogg's Raisin Bran." They don't care who you are, if you buy this box you will think we taste better, or you are wrong. My kind of product.
P.S. If you care, I think the Fiber One flakes are kind of cardboardy but they make up for it by having nut clusters, and who doesn't like nut clusters? Eh ladies?...Eh..? Its not exactly fair though as Fiber One costs more. You get 30% more fiber from Fiber One. Taste vs. Kellogg's to this guy? Tie.

A Favorite Pawlenty moment
Besides his portrayal of Slapshot hockey characters at charity events. Full credit there.
School Pool VETOED
The teachers' union, Education Minnesota, once again pushed for a single health insurance risk pool for school district employees. This was vetoed by the governor, who had signaled that he would be prepared to consider such a proposal if Education Minnesota dropped their opposition to other education reforms.

Pawlenty and budgets
If Pawlenty were not governor he would not be able to veto. He does not veto by convincing anyone his position is correct or wise, he veto's because he believes he is more correct and more wise. Or that his values are more valued by MN.

The funny thing about pushing it off is that the budget shortfall for the next budget is 5 billion larger then this one if MPR is quoting properly.
Another MPR article quoted that the total salaries of state employees is 1 billion. So anyone who says they can balance the budget by cutting state employees or salaries is mistaken.
Does MN want to pay or not, fun question.
Nobody will argue that raising taxes continuously is a sustainable.
So we haggle over the right percentage for the time. Many things determine the wisdom of a certain percentage in a certain government in a certain time unfortunately. Hence the many perspectives on government.
