State of the State-More Rhetoric, More Taxes, More Spending

More, more, more.  Mr. Malloy will give Connecticut his third State of the State speech today.  As much he wants to believe that he is, was and will be the greatest Governor Connecticut has ever had, we will hear much of the same.  We hear that his massive tax increases are working with a $1 Billion plus budget deficit.  We hear that there will be massive cuts in state spending except for most agencies and employees.  We will hear how he has handled with ease every crisis he has faced as Governor like no other in our state's history.
We will hear him deny the rumors of his appointment to some great and large position in Washington.
We will hear it all.
More, more, more.
What we will not hear is that Connecticut continues to be an economic mess in his third year of one party rule in Hartford.  What we will not hear is how much his massive tax increases have hurt rather than helped the state.  What we will not hear is how his corporate welfare gifts have done nothing to create new jobs.   And the list is endless.  But the rhetoric is not.

We will hear it all.
More, more, more.
And Connecticut continues to struggle and be a lost state economically due to the abuses of one party rule in Hartford.  Whatever Mr. Malloy will say will do little to improve those remaining in our state who must support this government which is out of control in so many ways.
