New Tolls, More Taxes, More Spending=Connecticut's Mantra

More taxes.
More spending.
New tolls.
Higher deficits.
Higher unfunded liabilities.
More of the same.

It seems to me that Hartford's One Party Rule is economically challenged.  It continues the same failed theories and policies.  More taxes, more spending and higher deficits.  Add to that now new tolls which will further cripple our state economy.  The economic logic astounds me.  Especially since there never any mention of a austerity and budget cutting package introduced by Hartford's One Party Rule.  The Democratic party is truly economically challenged in our state.


More taxes.
More spending.
New tolls.
Higher deficits.
Higher unfunded liabilities.
More of the same.

So what is the solution?  It is simplistic but will not be allowed by Hartford's One Party Rule.  Spending across the board needs to be cut by 8-10%.  State employment needs to be reduced on both sides of the aisle, both in management and union employees.  Business taxes need to be reduced to attract new businesses, industries and jobs to the state.  Austerity measures across the board need to be implemented immediately down to the saving of even one penny at this time.  Will this ever happen?  No especially since State employee retiree medical benefits have increased by a mere 1395% since 1990 according to a recent CBIA report.
