On Tuesday November 3, 2020-Why Would Anyone Vote Democrat? Why?-Part 1


I really wonder why anyone would want to vote for a Democrat candidate either on a state or national level in this upcoming election.  Why?  Can someone explain it to me?
Here in Connecticut we are in bad shape due to the years of political abuse and fiscal mismanagement that has been forced upon Connecticut Taxpayers and Businesses for years now compliments of the Connecticut Democrat Party and Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont.  Connecticut has massive economic problems with $150 billion dollars of short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.  It constantly ranks at the bottom or near bottom in how business friendly or not economic surveys.  It ranks consistently in the top five states in the highest business and personal taxes in the country.  It has passed one of the worst Police accountability bills in the nation basically making Connecticut much more prone to crime and criminal activity especially theft of personal property and much less safe to live in and do business in.  And don’t forget Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont has imposed massive travel, safety and capacity regulations and restrictions forcing many businesses to incur additional costs and or that have been put completely out of business by it.  He spreads a constant fear about the virus as it seems if we do not do what he says we all will get infected somehow and die.  His statistics change all the time about how bad or how good the new “positivity” rates are.  Who is he kidding with this chronic fear mongering he is force feeding the Connecticut public with? At the same time Lamont has profited greatly through his Boston Consulting Group directives as to how to run the state during this time frame giving no bid contracts to companies associated with his wife’s hedge fund. Connecticut is also assigning these same struggling businesses Covid-19 liability under their workers’ compensation policies.  The state unemployment compensation trust fund is once again in massive debt and on the verge of being broke due to a high unemployment rate.   This is the real record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running on.   It fear based-Connecticut Citizens must live in fear of everything they do.  So please explain to me why are you voting Democrat in this Connecticut election? 
When any state teeters on the verge of bankruptcy with massive short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities and has high taxes with a poor business climate it can’t have an economy that is prosperous and creates economic activity and growth with well-paying jobs contrary to what its elected officials are trying to claim.  It is a lie and deception created to nurture and protect an elite and politically connected group.  This same group claims ultimate power over its citizens through a web so complex that it is almost undetectable except for those few brave individuals who choose to investigate its corruption especially during the Covid-19 crisis.  It will continue for as long as they can keep reaping financial gain and glory.  And they do not care about the economic nightmare they have created in the state.
This is the real record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running on.   So please explain to me why are you voting Democrat in this Connecticut election?  Why?

Yet Another Connecticut Taxpayer Funded No Bid Covid-19 Contract: Thank You Ned Lamont!

I wonder when Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and the Boston Consulting Group will cancel both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year?  Maybe right after the election?  Or when there are more supposed "Red Zone" towns and cities?  For those who may wondering what a "Red Zone" town or city is, it means here in Connecticut that there are 15 or more cases per 100,000 people of Covid-19.  What I do not understand is that in many of the new founded "Red Zone" towns there are a lot less than 100,000 total population.  But who is willing to question our surrogate state government of Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and the Boston Consulting Group, who obviously are the experts when it comes to all things Covid-19? What do Connecticut Taxpayers know compared to these "experts"?  Obviously nothing except Connecticut Taxpayers have common sense which is sorely lack in Connecticut's surrogate government at this time.

What astounds me is the new Ned Lamont no bid Connecticut Taxpayer funded contract for a mere $24 million dollars to a little known California firm called AMN Healthcare.  AMN Healthcare's agreement with the state is an amazing contract of which very little is known. They are to hire, train and oversee a crew of contact tracers to supplement the efforts of the local health departments in Connecticut that apparently are overwhelmed due to Covid-19.  Under the contract, the state pays AMN $1,900 for each person hired, up to a total of 350 people. They also are paying AMN a mere $526,000 monthly in administration fees which would equal $1502.86 for each of the supposed 350 people hired (in a state that has 25% unemployment).  The company is required to submit weekly reports to Connecticut Department of Health officials who are overseeing the state’s contact tracing program to make sure they are hitting certain metrics, including contacts successfully reached within 48 hours of diagnosis and total volume of calls.  These metrics and number of calls apparently are not disclosed and are unknown at this time as there is little information that has been made public of this contract.  The contract requires that all of the tracers must be Connecticut residents and that the contract tracers to earn $29.50 an hour, case investigators to earn $43.25 an hour and supervisors $57.50 an hour.  I wonder why the Connecticut Department of Public Health can not handle this information and why must the state use yet another consultant to "trace" people who have Covid-19?  Will this tracing eliminate Covid-19 in the state?  It also shows to me how unprepared our state government is in dealing with a health crisis.  I also wonder if Connecticut Taxpayers privacy will be violated with these new contact tracers?  After all what business is it of the state to know if we are in contact with Covid-19 or not?  What happens if we are in contact with someone that has Covid-19 and do not get it?  And what is to say that our personal information will not be sold to third parties?  I do not see any guarantee of that not happening all in the name of Connecticut's never ending Covid-19 crisis. A crisis that is generating tons of money for an elite politically connected few.

Why is it going to cost Connecticut Taxpayers $526,000 per month for Administrative fees?  Why couldn't Connecticut hire these same people rather than paying $1900 per person for this company to hire them?  In a state that has 25% unemployment at this time I would venture to believe that these 350 jobs could be filled within a few hours since the only employers in Connecticut today are either our state government or Amazon Fulfillment Centers.  There is not much business left in the state to find jobs in contrary to what Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and the Boston Consulting Group believes.  

This contract like the many other no bid contracts that have been steered by Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and the Boston Consulting Group seem again to be of little benefit to Connecticut Taxpayers during this crisis.  We just see more of the same-a horrifically bloated state government run by Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and the Boston Consulting Group who truly have no clue in dealing with a public health crisis and or a horrendous economy of high taxes, high unemployment and high short and long term debt along with massive unfunded liabilities.  Oh and by the way this is the record that Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party want you to re elect them on on November 3.  It defies any type of logic.  Why would anyone vote for a Democrat in the election? Why?

Can Connecticut Survive As An Executive Order State Any More?

Can Connecticut survive as an Executive Order state any more?  I wonder.  I can not see how with the economic destruction and turmoil being created because of the Covid-19 lock down and the continuing restrictions that Governor by Executive Order Ned Lamont has placed on the state.  Our elected Legislative Branch has been deemed non essential by the Governor since he apparently along with the Boston Consulting Group will run the state until further notice.  Or until a Lamont family Hedge Fund company develops a vaccine against Covid-19 that must be used by every citizen of the state.  Our elected Legislative Branch will only be able to meet to pass more liberal gibberish and feel good legislation that takes away more personal and economic freedoms along with making us less safe with the ridiculous lessening of the power of police along with contact tracing, etc.  It is a Liberal's Utopia and a Libertarian's Nightmare.  All thanks to Governor by Executive Order Ned Lamont, the Boston Consulting Group and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  

Can Connecticut survive 1,000,000 people out of work?  1,000,000 unemployment applications have been filed since the Governor's lock down in March.  Unemployment is now around 25% with these facts being hidden from the public view since the election is coming up and the Connecticut Democrat Party is running for election and re election on this unemployment record.  The Connecticut Democrat Party is also running for election and re election on these horrible economic facts-jobs are being lost daily, the state now has $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities, the state has a net migration of people moving out, the state has one of the highest tax rates in the country, the state has one of the highest property tax rates in the country, the state has one of the highest costs of electricity in the country and one the poorest business climates in the country due to the massive closings that have taken place.  The list of economic problems they have created seem to be endless.  And the Connecticut Democrat Party feels they are qualified to continue to be the majority party for the state.  Incredible.

I think I answered once again my own question - Connecticut can not survive as an Executive Order state much longer.  It can not continue to illegally suppress economic activity on a daily basis with changing Covid-19 metrics, changing facts and statistics, changing colored maps of each town and city with their .0015% Covid-19 infection rates, and the wholesale destruction of the restaurant and hospitality industries.  And no there are not enough job retraining programs to help all of those out of work contrary to what the Connecticut Democrat Party believes.  Ned Lamont, the Boston Consulting Group and the Connecticut Democrat Party have done a horrific job during this crisis; harming those most in need in nursing homes and destroying many businesses.  Yet the politically connected continue their Connecticut Taxpayer funded profit train and those in need such as the elderly and disabled  are left to fend for themselves.  That is perfectly acceptable to Ned Lamont, the Boston Consulting Group and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Why?  Why is the question that the Connecticut Voter no matter what party they belong to or not belong to should be asking themselves on Election Day.  There needs to be a wholesale change in the way our state government works, it needs to function again.  Because it really no longer functions in any form now.  You can bet your germ filled mask on it.

Who Is Running Connecticut Anyways? I Want To Know

 I wonder who is running Connecticut?  This seems to be a question that most people can not answer easily today here in our state.  We see that there is no longer a State Legislature that conducts business for the voters who elected them, power has been ceded to Ned Lamont via a legally questionable Executive Order manifesto of a severe socialistic one man rule in the name of health concerns.  Our election in a few weeks will provide little if anything in getting our Legislative body back to work.  We also see very little information regarding how and when our lives will become normal again with not having to wear a germ bearing mask and all activities including schools and churches being opened in a normal fashion by our Public Health Department.  Will actual news be reported again in our biased media soon not just how many or how few cases of Covid-19 we have as a state?  I personally believe Connecticut is being run by a constant fear that is being dished out daily by Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Democrat Party and our surrogate legislature entity know as Boston Consulting Group with their no bid state contracts hand delivered to them by Ned Lamont and company.  

Connecticut has massive economic problems that continue to be avoided and not discussed in any way shape or form at all costs by Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party in our upcoming election.  I get little feeling of any type of enthusiasm for this campaign by either party with the exception of several conservative Republican candidates such as State Senator Rob Sampson, candidate for State Senator Len Suzio and State Representative Craig Fishbein and a few others.  The Connecticut Democrat Party candidates are silent about the draconian shut down of the states economy, the $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities the state has, excessively high taxes and a net migration out of the state (contrary to the propaganda they are spreading about people wanting to move here).  A healthy economy fuels a healthy state.  It seems like the only thing that matters in our state is Democrat Party political nepotism, the Lamont's Hedge Fund profits and state employee labor unions for their own self economic enrichment.  The hell with Connecticut Taxpayers, their businesses, homes and jobs. 

So who is really running Connecticut?  I want to know.  As a Taxpayer I don't buy the constant fear of all things relating to Covid-19 such as why walking one way in a store is going to prevent its spread or the snappy ad campaigns that we know see on billboards (financed with Connecticut Taxpayers monies).  I also would like to know what is the master plan to get back to normal in the state?  Does it exist?  Are we waiting for the Boston Consulting Group plan to be issued and therefore be followed to the letter?  Maybe when the next raises go into effect from a SEBAC agreement?  What scraps are going to be thrown to Connecticut Taxpayers by the Connecticut Democrat Party to keep them and their businesses on life support and at bay from any criticism from their actions and non actions during this crisis?  This is democracy?  This is "the Constitution State" where the State Constitution is thrown out and declared null and void?  Why is this happening as more people die of other health related issues and problems rather than from Covid-19?  I do not understand why our freedoms have been disposed of like this with no questions being asked or allowed except by a brave few?

Once again this is the record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running on at all levels of government in November.  Tell me again why you want to vote for them?  Also tell me who is running Connecticut anyways?  I want to know.
