Wow This Is The Best Mediocre Connecticut Has To Offer?

 

This is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer.  Mediocre is defined as “of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance: ordinary, so-so.”  In looking at Connecticut’s government and its lack of solutions it presents to its never ending array of both social and economic problems we can describe our government as mediocre at best, more likely as poorly run, inefficient and horrific most of the time.  Connecticut Taxpayers must support this on a daily basis.
This is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer when we see the same failed policies being offered yet again in 2021.  The same mediocre tax and spend programs and policies that have not helped Connecticut for 31 years now since the enactment of the Utopian State Income Tax.  On the agenda this spring in its usual unread dumped onto the General Assembly at the last second fashion are laws to strip local control from local planning and zoning commissions, yet more “job retraining” programs, more tax incentives to politically connected businesses, new and higher taxes on “wealthy” taxpayers, consumption taxes on “wealthy” taxpayers, higher truck taxes that in turn create higher costs for anything trucked into the state, and elimination of legitimate elections and voting with ballot harvesting with House Joint Resolution No. 58.  
This is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer when we see $150 billion dollar in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities and no solution whatsoever is forthcoming out of our mediocre state government.
This is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer when we see Connecticut having one of the highest tax rates in the country overall.  Thus the act of raising taxes yet again does nothing to address the tax issues that are prevalent in the state and are causing both citizens and businesses to move out on a daily basis.  I guess our mediocre state government feels that higher taxes will resolve all of the state’s problems as it has done for 31 years now.
This is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer when we see the Lamont’s family hedge fund profiting from the Covid-19 crisis and there is silence from the state run media on it.  And it is supposed to be legal using Connecticut Taxpayers monies for personal financial gain.  Metrics, rules, guidelines all change by the hour in Lamont's quest to destroy the state economically in the guise of saving ourselves from Covid-19.  Brave private citizens such as Tony DeAngelo and several others daily question what this Administration is doing in this state with real facts and figures.  The silence from our mediocre government is sickening.
This is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer when we see rampant crime taking place with a massive amount of car thefts and crime taking place on a daily basis.  The Police Accountability bill made all Connecticut Taxpayers less safe and much more subjected to criminals and crime.  It makes all drivers have to pay much higher car and truck insurance costs to offset the massive amount of losses from this.  I wonder how quickly this law would be amended if and when a prominent member of the Connecticut Democrat Party vehicle gets stolen from their property.  Crime does pay well here in Connecticut if you are a thief.  
Thus I am to assume that this is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer.  If this was private industry those responsible for these failed decisions of the past 31 would be rewarded by being fired from their jobs.  Here in Connecticut they are rewarded with even higher paying jobs state jobs and positions along with higher pensions incomprehensible in private industry.
Wow this is the best mediocre Connecticut has to offer.  And has offered since 1990.  And probably will still be offering in 2090.  Free Connecticut from this morass of incompetency and failure that is our mediocre state government.

2 + 2 = 5 In Connecticut?

 

Does 2 + 2 = 5 in Connecticut?  I assume it does after all of the issues this state has.  I have written about many of these problem areas over the years however I am starting to believe that both little will be done about them and that Connecticut Taxpayers have no say whatsoever in how their tax monies are spent and wasted on a daily basis.  
2 + 2 = 5 when looking at the past year and now never ending Executive Order Governor Lamont’s draconian measures all in the name of profits for his off shore hedge fund, no bid contracts and a socialistic iron fisted rule that has eliminated personal and economic freedoms in the state.  We are shamed on a daily basis to wear our masks and get our vaccines in a way that reminds me of sheep being led to a slaughter.  When one questions these “mandates” and “executive orders” many “experts” are quick to pounce on it by stating you are wrong and will die if you do not follow these “new rules”.  There is also no mention whatsoever to the large increases in drug use, drug overdoses and suicides in the state.  Amazing isn’t it?  
2 + 2 = 5 when examining $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities that Connecticut has.  Massive state employee benefits, salaries and pensions well above national averages help to contribute to this issue.  But we all know here in our state that Connecticut Taxpayers pay their taxes to help support this excessive and exorbitant spending in these areas.  There can be no reform and or cuts to this area due to economically unsustainable contracts that were given to these state employees while at the same time state management employees are joining unions for their own big payday of yet even higher salaries.  How is this possible when Connecticut has the second highest taxes in the country, third highest property taxes in the country and ranks near last or last in most economic and business friendly categories?  Thus we have a poorly run bloated state government that is heavily reliant upon “consulting groups”.  And those same “consulting groups” make recommendations that can’t be used in the state to make it more efficient and to save money since it is not allowed due to state government workers bargaining agreements.  Amazing isn’t it?  
2 + 2 = 5 when trying to comprehend a bill that was passed last year which makes our homes and streets much less safe and much more susceptible to crime and theft.  We are currently experiencing a rash of car thefts, young thieves are stealing cars at an incredible rate.  Gangs go around and steal whatever cars they are able to.   The Police Accountability bill that was passed by our one Democrat Party rule in Hartford ties the hands of law enforcement officials when dealing with these thefts.  Why was this bill/law passed that only hurts law abiding Connecticut Taxpayers and enriches thieves and their crime and makes police officers jobs more difficult?  Amazing isn’t it?  
2 + 2 = 5 when ethics in government is a corrupted government.   2 + 2 = 5 when debt is surplus.  2 + 2 = 5 when the second highest taxes in the country represent economic prosperity and economic freedom.  2 + 2 = 5 when crime and theft are acceptable and given as law.  2 + 2 = 5 when thieves are now model citizens.  2 + 2 = 5 when elections are now six month events.  2 + 2 = 5 is now Connecticut.  Amazing isn’t it?

A Resurrection For Connecticut?

 

Since it is Easter weekend and Sunday is Easter Sunday I felt that we should look at resurrection as it applies to Connecticut.  We all have seen that Connecticut’s news since last March is confined to daily updates on Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths (since apparently anyone who had Covid-19 when they died even though it may not actually have been the cause of death was counted as a Covid-19 death). Other stories include the incredible job Ned Lamont and his de-facto one party rule government along with his highly paid consultants have done during this crisis.  It is apparent to me that Ned Lamont and his de-facto one party rule government along with his highly paid consultants are all now medical experts.  It is apparent to me also that these same companies owned by the Lamont’s Hedge Fund that receive no bid state contracts are the only companies that help Connecticut during this crisis and apparently the only companies in the world that exist as far as the medical fields they seem to be “experts” in and are the only ones who are allowed to do business in the state.  Today’s news includes the same updates on Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths but with a new twist now as to how many people are getting vaccines, are getting sick from vaccines and or are unable to get vaccines.  It is also talks about the baby steps we need to take to reopen Connecticut and how Ned Lamont’s rule by Executive Order decree will be the only way you will survive in 2021.  Also in the news is brief mention of the $24 Million dollars of Connecticut Taxpayers that was streamlined to a Connecticut Democrat Party connected group, Grossman Solutions in an another no bid contract to hire 71 individuals to conduct a “campaign” to get people vaccinated in ten cities Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford, Hartford, Waterbury, Norwalk, Danbury, New Britain, Bristol and Meriden by going door-to-door to tell them.  I wonder if anyone but myself sees the irony in this monumental waste of Connecticut Taxpayers Monies that was again sent to a Connecticut Democrat Party politically connected group.  Why is this legal?  Are they going to go door-to-door at night where drug use, drug sales, theft of cars and crime is rampant in some of these cities?  Are they themselves giving out the vaccines to these people at their homes?  Just curious about this since most of these cities they are going to are filled with unchecked crime that is really no longer reported by our state run media.
So what does all have to do with a resurrection for Connecticut?  Not much since I can’t see how a resurrection can take place in Connecticut with a compliant non-questioning nor objective media being tooled by Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party as to everything that gets reported in the state.  I can’t see how a resurrection can take place in Connecticut with a stagnant and stale Republican Party that squashes conservative views and talk within the party, a RINO Party at best except for a few brave State Senators and Representatives.  I can’t see how a resurrection can take place in Connecticut with opposition voices constantly being ridiculed and vilified by the constant whining of the liberal leftists who apparently are always right (and conservatives voices naturally always wrong). I can’t see how a resurrection can take place in Connecticut with $150 billion dollars in long and short term debt along with unfunded liabilities never being addressed along with a state legislature that is unable to meet in person.  I can’t see how a resurrection can take place in Connecticut with many Connecticut citizens being fearful of even leaving their homes because of the constant never ending horrific news being force fed upon them daily about Covid-19.
As so it goes day in and day out; lies, fraud and deception.  Happy Easter to my Christian friends.  Please don’t count on a resurrection for Connecticut any time soon.  Ned Lamont and his de-facto one party rule government along with his highly paid consultants will make sure they are taken care of first.  Their personal and financial gain is much more important than the common citizens of the state-we are peasants to the ruling elite-we work for our government and we must serve them without any questions. 
Free Connecticut.
