Aaron J. Brown, a writer and college instructor from northern Minnesota's Iron Range, discusses the oft-used political phrase "jobs, jobs, jobs" and what it means to blue collar, natural resource based region's like his. Though jobs are indeed the goal, the phrase can be used as a crutch for poor policy decisions and short sighted planning. Brown is the author of "Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range" and the news, politics and humor blog MinnesotaBrown.com.
