A citizen submitted the following letter to the editor of the Star Tribune.
"If Gov. Tim Pawlenty chooses to use the term 'welfare health care' to refer to such programs as MinnesotaCare and General Assistance Medical Care because they are subsidies from the government, he should at least be consistent.
During his budget proposal I did not hear him refer to his continued support for 'welfare ethanol payments' or the fact that he wants to create a fund for 'welfare stadiums.' If we are going to be calling attention to subsidies, let's call attention to all of them."
