Brexit and the United States-God Saved The Queen

I have been asked over the week my thoughts on the Brexit situation and how it impacts our country.  I know this is away from my usual opinions on the worsening Connecticut economic debacle and the highly corrupted state political situation however as an economist I feel I should offer thoughts on it.
First in my opinion I feel it is an excellent choice on the part of Britain to regain its independence and economic sovereignty.  I do not believe nor have seen enough economic evidence that the European Union has created such economic prosperity in Europe and for other countries in the world to justify its expense.  Also I do not believe nor have seen enough economic evidence that the Euro currency has created great economic excitement nor economic stimulation for it to continue to thrive as a viable unified currency.  To me all it has done is propped up weaker countries and placed economic strain on stronger countries (like the United Kingdom).
Secondly the issue of radical terrorism has expanded in the European Union due to open borders and unlimited immigration policies that have been able to allow and nurture terrorism cells especially in France and Belgium.  Europe is far less safe than what it was in 1990.  The European Union liberal drum roll of being politically correct when it comes to immigration and radical terrorism/lack of profiling has created an unsafe and highly dangerous situation for both Europe and the United States.  The citizens of England had enough and chose freedom and  sovereignty as a nation. 
To me all the European Union has evolved in is a bureaucratic liberal experimental think tank that has no checks and balances in it.  They wish to force feed the Union with failed liberal social and economic experiments. 
England in my opinion now will prosper economically and terrorists will have a much more difficult time in their operations in the United Kingdom.  The fear mongering manipulations of our financial markets here in our country make little sense to me economically.  Why the stock market dropped the way it did on Friday proves that fear when properly placed in the media allows for financial/stock swings to beat up the small investors in the market while allowing for massive profits for the stock shorting gamblers and large institutional investors to gain.  There should be no fear over this exit.
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher summed up the issues of the European Union in her famous quote "What we should grasp, however, from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration; second, the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom; and third, European unity has been tried before, and the outcome was far from happy." -- Margaret Thatcher   margaretthatcher.tv

Connecticut The Corrupted State

A constitution defined:  is a a body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is acknowledged to be governed.
In my opinion Connecticut has no constitution.  It has no principles or precedents governing.  It has corrupted leadership and elected officials. 
With Connecticut's Omnipotent One Party Rule fully entrenched the constitution be it with regards to a legally binding state constitutional spending cap or with the total disregard for Connecticut's Clean Election Law is ignored. 
It is without question this weeks corrupted agreement between the Connecticut Democrat Party and in particular with Governor Malloy and the State Elections Enforcement Commission was done in secret with no one being allowed to be interviewed by the Commission.  Mr. Malloy and his Connecticut Democrat Party were in  clear violation of House Bill No. 850-Public Act No. 13-60 (which I urge Connecticut Democrats to reread and to comprehend what laws campaign financing should be followed).  Malloy made expenditures well in excess of what this law allows in his mailings in the last election.  It can not be denied nor was it actually investigated by the State Elections Enforcement Commission (which to me now is another tool of the Connecticut Democrat Party).  Should taxpayers and voters expect anything different?
And the question that also needs to be asked is why taxpayers are paying taxes to support such a corrupted regime in Hartford?   If the Constitution is non existent what rule of law are we following in Connecticut?  Thus why are we paying taxes?
Connecticut should be referred to at all times as the "Corrupted State"  I would hope in the next legislative session after more items are taken off budget illegally, more taxes were raised and new taxes implemented, more secret hiring of politically connected Democrats occur, no discussion on most laws or the budget take place that some legislator brings up a law to change the official state nickname to "Connecticut-The Corrupted State".  At the same a new law could also be passed to tax anyone moving out of the state.  An exit tax-a fitting tribute to the cancer that has engulfed our state-the Connecticut Democrat Party.
It is time to take back Connecticut in November.

Connecticut and Its Economic Decline

It is evident that Connecticut is in and has been in an economic decline for many years now.  Since the passage of the Weicker state income tax that was supposed to solve all of Connecticut's problems we still see an economic decline.  For many years now, over and over again.  An economic decline that is far reaching from young and old citizens moving out of state along with many businesses and industries heading elsewhere.  An economic decline that encourages constant non productivity through a political elite ruling class that is embellished with high salaries, benefits and pensions while penalizing those who actually produce and earn their income through yet even new and higher taxes on their wages.  An economic decline that chooses to tax literally anything and everything in a never ending quest for more revenue to constantly satisfy the same political elite ruling class that has helped to bring Connecticut to economic ruin.  An economic decline as viewed by millions of taxpayers dollars being spent on a Hartford baseball stadium that can not be finished nor generate any income in the near future.  An economic decline in which the Governor picks who wins and who loses through taxpayer funded corporate welfare cash given to businesses who donate to his ruling party.
The list is endless in the chronic economic lie that the Connecticut Democrat Party and Dan Malloy have force fed taxpayers for years now.  More and higher taxes continue to bring Connecticut to its economic knees. 
And many of these same Democrats are running for re-election in November for their golden House and Senate seats.  Why?  To further Connecticut's economic decline?  To pad their pensions and benefits?
Think about the continuing economic decline of our state when you vote in November.  If you still live here.  It is time to take back Connecticut.

Dan Malloy’s Governing Delusions


Dan Malloy as Governor of Connecticut has done an excellent job of grinding Connecticut into the ground since he has taken office in 2011.  It has been a long six years with his debacle of his second term not ending until 2018.  And it seems to most taxpayers in the state that if anything goes wrong it is easy to blame the Republicans for it.
It is too bad that Dan Malloy does not believe in either telling the truth nor accepting responsibility for the mess he has turned Connecticut into.  He accepts no responsibility for higher taxes, business and taxpayers moving out of state in droves nor his reelection campaign lies that there were no deficits in the state budget.
This is the record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running on to continue their unyielding grip and control on the state House and Senate.  How does this party have any credibility with the taxpayers and voters of Connecticut is beyond me.  And it is also beyond many of the voters of Connecticut.  And many of the voters in Connecticut will be for in some cases for the first time in their lives voting Republican to stop the hemorrhaging of their state.
It is time to take back Connecticut from omnipotent one party rule in November.  It is time to force Dan Malloy and his Democrat party into economic reality once and for all.
