She picked Tim

Republicans think sketchy financial practices and crypto schemes are evidence of financial acumen. Turning over our government to fraud enthusiasts like Trump & Vance is a bad idea.

This is such a bizarre take, and I say this as an immigrant with investments and a home. If you have enough of a pension to support you for the rest of your life, what exactly is the problem?

He owned a house. He sold it, when he moved into the governor's mansion. He will surely buy a new house.

Surely? He might be outpriced now to buy the house.

He has investments - they don’t show up on the financial disclosure forms because certain types of investments don’t have to be listed. He has multiple pensions and no debt so has a positive high enough net worth. Managing money well means having enough coming in to cover expenses and having enough extra for emergencies. Wall more than meets that definition. And either you know that and are just trying desperately to make Walz look bad (but aren’t fooling anyone) or you have zero understanding of finances. This dog won’t hunt with middle America who would LOVE to be in Walz’s financial shoes.

DP. Stop spreading misinformation. He has NO investments, other than the very modest pensions.

Walz's net worth comes from his and his wife's salary and pensions.
The couple do not own stock or have any real estate investments.

The prosperity gospel freaks think they should get rich because they believe the right things. That’s why they’re such easy marks for crypto scams and other financial schemes.

Regular people just want a country where they’re financially comfortable and secure if they’re willing to work diligently doing something useful for others.

Although 401ks do usually "contain stocks" that is not the same as owning stock, i.e., ownership of shares in individual stocks.

This makes no sense—you make your own investments inside a 401k, stocks, mutual funds, bonds, whatever. They are not like pensions where the investment decisions are someone else’s.

Minnesota Governor Unveils Little Free Library at State Capitol
https://littlefreelibrary.org/2023/03/minnesota-governor-unveils-little-free-library-at-state-capitol/



I love this. He's a champion for keeping books in schools and in libraries.

In celebration of Reading Month, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz unveiled the first ever Little Free Library in the State Capitol. With more than 1,200 attempts to ban or restrict books in the U.S. last year, according to Unite Against Book Bans, the Little Free Library celebrates books and helps to ensure they remain accessible in Minnesota. The Governor unveiled the library alongside librarians and advocates for book accessibility. ...

“In Minnesota, we are focused on investing in education, our future, and children and families across the state. We’re not in the business of taking books away from kids and schools – and we certainly don’t believe in banning books that tell our history,” said Governor Walz. “This Little Free Library is one way we’re doing our part to ensure books remain accessible to teach, tell our story, and inspire the next generation of readers in Minnesota.”

He’s not in debt and has pensions worth multiple millions of dollars. What red flag?

DP. "Multiple millions of dollars"?? What on earth are you talking about?

Walz’s exact net worth is not known, but it’s estimated to be between $112,003 to $330,000 without counting his federal pension, which could add as much as $800,000 to that number.

A 2019 disclosure estimated the pensions to be worth $81,000 to $215,000 and a federal retirement plan for his years of service in Congress could earn a federal retirement benefit of $55,000 per year.

I have seen the calculations of his multiple pensions being worth more than 2 million. Pensions are worth a lot!

You are lying. Why?

With a net worth between $112,003 and $330,000, Walz sits far below his peers. Research shows that the average net worth for congresspeople and senators is around $1 million.

If we’re estimating that Walz’s net worth is on the high end of that—$330,000—he’s still far below where a typical 60-year-old should be if they want to retire.

And while Walz does not have a 401(k), IRA, or taxable brokerage account, he does have a pension, which seems to be his sole source of retirement funds.

Nowadays, the pension is a relic. Only about 15 percent of private-sector workers have access to a pension, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That is a major point about Tim Walz - unlike most politicians he is a very relatable character - middle class, a teacher, trying to get by and make ends meet, especially with a non-verbal special needs kid - he's actually dealing with the real struggles and kitchen-table issues that most of America deals with, unlike the rest of our political establishment. Billionaire Trump and phony-Appalachian, Thiel-backed Vance are so out-of-touch with all of that.

Republicans are so bad at this. Of course, they have an almost impossible task with their chosen candidates. On almost every issue they want to pick on the Democrats, their candidates are flagrantly worse.

Walz's military service? Nope - Captain Bonespurs.
Democrats are juvenile and mean with their name calling? Haha, that's almost Trump's whole personality.
Immigration? Trump killed an immigration bill.
Exaggerating or misstating some facts? Trump's wild helicopter ride with San Francisco mayor Willie Brown.
Dishonesty? Trump's been convicted of making false reports and has been banned from doing business in New York.

And on and on and on.
