Connecticut Democrats Spend Ad Infinitum. 30 Years=345%?

 The Connecticut Democrat Party just loves to spend.  And spend and spend and spend and spend.  And spend ad infinitum (ad infinitum is a Latin phrase meaning to infinity).  If one has been following Connecticut's spending crisis since the implementation in 1991 of the economic cure all the Connecticut State Income Tax we can see that spending has increased a mere 345% over this time frame from roughly $7 billion dollars to now $24.2 billion dollars for the state's biennial budget.  I wonder how many Connecticut Taxpayers besides those who are politically connected have seen their salaries increase by this amount?  If over 30 years you were lucky to get a 1 1/2% raise each year then your pay increased by 45% over the same time frame.  So why did Connecticut's spending have to increase by 345%?  Is Connecticut a special state case where an increase by 345% in state spending is only earmarked for the Democrat Party politically connected such as the state labor unions?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with more efficient state services in the state?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with greater security and police protection so that your car does not get stolen and or you have no risk of being murdered in one of the state's Democrat Party controlled cities?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with lower taxes or instead are the taxes that you pay help rank Connecticut as one of the highest taxed states in the country?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with security for your business as seen by the horrific state mandated Covid-19 lock downs that bankrupted many businesses in the state? Does this increase of 345% provide you with a balanced budget and without the current $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities the state owes?  Does this increase of 345% provide you with a sense of shared sacrifice by the Democrat Party politically connected such as the state labor unions?

To state that it is amazing that a state as small as Connecticut spends this much money is an understatement to say the least.  In trying to analyze the current budget (which is exceptionally difficult to do since our state government wishes to keep Connecticut Taxpayers in the dark) depending on the accounting process used salaries, benefits, pensions and interest on the debt in my opinion account for almost half of what the state spends.  And over the past 30 years some items have been taken off budget to reduce the budget deficit and seem to be lost forever.  Again why does Connecticut spend this much money and gets so little in return?  We continue to see the fiscal mismanagement and corruption of 30 years of omnipotent one party rule by the Connecticut Democrat Party which has led the state to the brink of fiscal ruin.  Who wants to start a business in the state with these kinds of economic conditions?  Who wants to move to Connecticut besides the overtaxed residents of New York or New Jersey?  Why do Connecticut Taxpayers spend so much and get so little in return? 

Yet this is the wonderful and supposedly economically efficient record that Ned Lamont, his family's hedge fund and the rest of the Connecticut Democrat Party is running for re election on in 2022.  And this is the record that they will lose on in 2022.  A poor socialistic corrupted type government that has been nurtured by both the state run media and the Democrats is crumbling in front of their eyes and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it in time to savage the election.  They have already lost badly in the eyes of most Connecticut Taxpayers.  It is over before it starts.  And it is 1776 all over again.
