I will say that Branstad was the one who signed off on TQ money to raise pay to the middle from around 45. I don’t think Kim has done anything to try to take that away.Kimmie will get us into the bottom 10 by the time she leaves office.
Low cost of living is just an indicator of a shitty place to live.Average teacher in South Dakota makes $60k per year according to that link. I live in this state. $60k goes a long ways and is a solid salary for a teacher in SoDak.

South Dakota and Iowa are pretty much the same as far as places to live. I've lived in both states and travelled extensively across both of them as well. Sioux Falls = Des Moines as far as metro areas. Yeah, DSM is bigger, but anything you can do in Des Moines you can do in SF. Plenty of nice small towns and smaller cities in SoDak too.Low cost of living is just an indicator of a shitty place to live.
Iowa is home, and always will be, but……it’s not the greatest place to live for a lot of people.South Dakota and Iowa are pretty much the same as far as places to live.

In fact, I could make the case SoDak is a better place to live than Iowa. Outdoor recreation opportunities in the Glacial Lakes region and the Missouri River system. The Black Hills for skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, etc. Our state park system blows Iowa's away. The hunting is fantastic if you are into that.
SoDak has the reservations, which are bad, but Iowa has the southern tier of counties that border Missouri and crap holes like Ottumwa. That's a wash.
Cool. Don’t live in Iowa and never have. I do live in Indiana, which is another place that touts the low cost of living and is a shitty place to live in many ways.South Dakota and Iowa are pretty much the same as far as places to live.

$60M is shitty if you have a family. Ok if you are single and 23.Average teacher in South Dakota makes $60k per year according to that link. I live in this state. $60k goes a long ways and is a solid salary for a teacher in SoDak.
I agree that $60 million per year is shitty. If I paid my top execs so little, my business would not be as successful. Pay for talent.$60M is shitty if you have a family. Ok if you are single and 23.
Private school grad from FL raises hand to agree.The public school system in Florida is a fvcking joke. If I had kids in school, they’d be going to a private school.
There are many jobs that pay a heck of a lot more with only 2-3 weeks less vacation time.When you only work 9 months per year what do you expect?
So you're in favor of year round schooling?When you only work 9 months per year what do you expect?
I love how Cons such as yourself are constantly pissing and moaning about society while at the same time trashing public schools. You see, Cons don't get to piss and moan because y'all don't want to fully fund public education. Period! /thread.Private school grad from FL raises hand to agree

In the bond market “m” are used. I agree K is often used to describe $1000.In the U.S., "K" is usually used for thousand instead of the Roman "M". I "M" sorry that I misunderstood.

Back in my day some of the best and brightest taught high school. I get those were the good old days.You think teachers make enough to understand the bond market and what symbols are used? They don't make much money.
$120m is not rich. However complaining is for losers.I remember getting blasted on this board a while back when I commented that a household income of about $140k was pretty much middle class and not really rich. Got all kinds of figures thrown at me and was told I was out of touch.
So using that standard, if two teachers in SoDak get married and their avg salaries are $60k each for a combined household income of $120k then they are rich and shouldn't complain about their pay anymore.
