i have an interesting letter from one of my constituents that said that maybe minnesota's rate is 8%. but at her house and its 100%. one of the things that i am grappling with is regions, say wisconsin next door to us, has an 8.8% employment. we are at 8%. yet a region that stretches across both states have similar unemployment rate. i'm very concerned about this kind off that we look at it that way, doesn't quite make sense to me. i will say compared with wisconsin, we did get one more increase in employmenemployment in minnesota when we hired brett favre from wisconsin. so that maybe can account for some of the difference. but i am just wondering if you have seen this before, and what kind of economic, don't make some joke about clogger for cash because he has turned out to be very good. all right. so what i'm wondering about what i would like to know is headed in the arbitrary cut off and is this way we should go when states -- what kind of incentive would we be creating in these? >> i don't want to comment on the policy aspect. >> please do. >> i will say though that the change in
