But everyone else is doing it!

Ed Fallon is the guest on Iowa Press this weekend. I saw the show on Friday and it will be replayed on Sunday morning at 11:30 and you can catch it on their website later on.

Fallon was asked by David Yepsen and Mike Glover about the Iowa Values Fund and his plan for economic development. Fallon believes that money should be invested in growing our communities, on education, entrepreneurial opportunities, small business creation, and making the workforce in our state the best around. To learn more about Fallon's plan for economic development, check out his website.

Yepsen and Glover just could not understand why anyone would not want to hand out millions of dollars to large corporations who already making millions and millions in profits. They kept hitting on the subject and their argument basically was, "But everyone else is doing it." We wouldn't accept that response from our children, so we shouldn't accept that response from our elected officials when our tax dollars are being used.
