POLITICAL INTEGRITY IMPACTS IOWA AND IOWANS

 The following table shows the integrity level of some Iowa politicians and their impacts on Iowa's economy and standard of living.  Iowa's larger newspapers are loath to talk about integrity, be it of politicians or the newspapers themselves.  Anyone doubting the numbers need only to scrutinize the sources of political contributions,  prime benefactors of laws passed in the past year--and Iowa's stagnant conditions, at best, to get a good idea of what is happening.  

As a result, it is expected Iowa voters will pay more attention to political integrity when they vote for a politician.  The net impact of this posting is expected to be an Iowa economic  improvement of nearly 3% and a standard of living improvement of nearly 3% as well, within two years.

INTEGRITY AND NET IMPACTS OF IOWA POLITICIANS.  THE POTENTIAL IS GOOD FOR THOSE HAVING A HIGH INTEGRITY INDEX TO HAVE A POSITIVE FUTURE IMPACT ON IOWA'S ECONOMY AND IOWAN'S STANDARD OF LIVING.
