WalletHub has just released a report ranking Iowa as the state with the worst economy in the country. We have no one to thank more for that title than Gov. Kim Reynolds and her Republican henchman who drove it into the ground. Certainly can’t blame the Democrats. This is the best example of what happens when party is valued over principles and people, and what the rest of the nation is in store for. This is not how you make America great again.
