Calling every budget fight a "war" is how blue states dodge accountability. If Minnesota leaders think sending JD Vance to argue about welfare spending is some invasion, maybe defend the programs on the merits instead of acting like any reform is cruelty. Taxpayers are allowed to ask why able-bodied adults stay on the rolls while schools, roads, and cops get squeezed. Safety nets should help people get back on their feet, not become a permanent political machine. You can disagree, but pretending scrutiny is violence is just a way to shut down debate.
