Connecticut's Shortfall (Not A Deficit) Just Pick A Number And Spend More

A shortfall.  No a budget deficit.  No $60 million. No $365 million.  No more like $415 million.  Pick a number, any number and welcome to our state's fiscal incompetency financed by the remaining taxpayers here in Connecticut.
The Governor could just continue to make up numbers and supposed cuts and the budget shortfall would just go away.  By going away the Governor could continue to campaign for reelection and or a new Cabinet post in Washington.  Why worry about the fiscal crisis?  After all he inherited it from a Democratic Legislature!  Oh the irony of fiscal incompetency.
Thus we as taxpayers have no idea what the actual budget deficit is, no idea as to how much higher taxes are going to go, no idea how many more businesses will leave the state and most importantly no idea as to what plan there ever is to address the fiscal crisis.
A shortfall.  No a budget deficit.  No $60 million. No $365 million.  No more like $415 million.  Pick a number, any number and accept the fiscal illiteracy that is Hartford and our state's one party rule government.
