One can only imagine that Tim Walz would bring his brand of Midwestern socialism with him to the White House, if given the chance.
At a recent campaign stop, Walz referred to his Republican vice presidential contender, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, as “a venture capitalist cosplaying like he’s a cowboy or something.”
“I don’t even know what a venture capitalist does most of the time,” he bragged
Perhaps that’s something he should keep to himself, considering the job he’s running for. It’s already well known that Walz has no investments, including stocks or bonds. And he doesn’t own a home.
Walz’s lack of financial finesse just became even more clear in a new report card from the libertarian Cato Institute that ranks all U.S. governors for their fiscal responsibility.
Walz? He failed, coming in dead last.
Opinion:Trump has a great chance of winning Michigan. His Detroit speech highlighted why.
Walz’s big spending ways are hurting Minnesota
Cato’s report card, released every two years, takes into account data from states’ taxing and spending records. The less government intrusion, the higher the score.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, earned an “A” and topped the list of governors for her fiscal restraint and good-governing approach.
America needs leaders who care about spending. Harris and Walz don’t.

No doubt, that’s part of what appealed to Harris in choosing him.
While Harris had tried to redefine herself as some sort of free-market capitalist, her record speaks for herself. As a U.S. senator, she beat out democratic socialist Bernie Sanders as the most liberal senator – not an easy feat.
When she first ran for president in 2019 and as a senator, Harris backed all of the left’s most offensive (and costly) ideas, from Medicare for All to the Green New Deal.
