A Modest Win-Win Proposal

Writing for PJ Media, Stephen Kruiser looks at the billion dollar level of primarily-Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota and concludes, “The US May Want to Look into Getting Rid of Minnesota.” Kruiser is exaggerating for emphasis, a la Trump.

In that same grandiose spirit, I have an improved suggestion, “The US May Want to Swap  Minnesota for Alberta.” My rationale is this - Alberta would be happier as a US state. Its culture and economics resemble those of Texas. Politically and culturally, Minnesota would be happier as a Canadian province. 

Like all really good deals, it would be a win for both entities.
