For Your Information-Here Was The Vote-And By The Way Where Is The $17 Million Plus To Implement It?
Here is the vote from last night's gun law vote here in Connecticut-by the way the first estimates in is that it will cost $17 million plus to implement this new law. And for your information taxpayers in Connecticut work the longest to pay for their taxes in the country. Our Tax Freedom Day is May 13th. Also for your information 10 Senators and 44 Representatives were brave enough to vote against this "bi-partisan" bill. And was anything written in the bill by the state to guarantee that we will as tax paying citizens would be protected by someone who pulls an illegal gun on us?
We really need to start voting with our feet.
We really need to start voting with our feet.

More Much Ado About Nothing Or The Connecticut Folly
Welcome to the Connecticut Folly 2013 version.
I do not have enough hours in the day to write about all of the economic issues and ethical issues Connecticut faces in 2013. Nor can I draw a blind eye to the massive waste of taxpayers monies which continue to occur each day.
The new massive gun bureaucracy that is going to be rammed through Hartford's One Party Rule along with the meek Republicans who are voting for it will do little to improve safety for any resident. From what I can understand from the bill (and good luck anyone actually understanding a bill passed in Hartford), the state has created a new layer of laws, rules to be enforced by state workers? And how are those state workers going to be chosen? How much is this actually going to cost both gun owners and taxpayers? What happened to the public hearings on the bill? Apparently there were just for show.
And most importantly how will this bill actually help to prevent violent crimes with illegal guns from happening? No answers on that one from Hartford's One Party Rule. Thus a new bureaucracy forms until the next mass violent outbreak and then yet another newer bureaucracy forms.
In my economic opinion if we actually had laws that were enforced to penalize and incarcerate criminals not the victims then we would have a safer state, sort of like having a death penalty when you murder someone.
But alas this is Connecticut's Folly 2013 version.
And could someone tell me what is being done about the state debt and the state economy?
Wow the silence really sickens me as a taxpayer.

What Happened To The State Economy?
I do not know since all the news that is coming out of Hartford is on gun restrictions and legislation to that effect. I also do not feel that it is going to make a difference as someone who wishes to engage in an illegal activity with a gun because they will obtain one probably through an illegal manner. Nor we as law abiding citizens will feel more protected by all of this legislation.
Those who own a gun legally do not cause crimes in my economic opinion.
But then what happened to Connecticut's economy?
I guess it does not matter what happened to Connecticut's economy since the only item that is important in Hartford is taking away guns especially from law abiding citizens. The economy really is not important in the Hartford's One Party Rule scheme of things. They can just continue to raise taxes on those who owns businesses and work in our state and not worry about it. Debt does not exist in their vocabulary. If any member of Hartford's One Party Rule loses an election (which rarely happens) or gets convicted of a crime, they can be reemployed as either a high ranking state employee/official or better yet as a lobbyist.
But then what happened to Connecticut's economy?
I still do not know-but wait I think I see legally owned guns being eliminated instead. The state economy is long gone.

More Connecticut Garbage
More garbage coming out of Hartford . It does not seem to end.
HB6550 is a beauty to come out of Hartford 's One Party Rule; this section is
taken out of the bill-guess who will pay these new taxes-anyone who uses
heating oil or propane
Sec. 3. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2013) (a) An excise tax per gallon of heating oil and propane, each as defined in section 1 of this act, is hereby imposed in the following amounts on the following dates, upon all persons licensed to sell such fuel under the provisions of section 16a-23m of the general statutes: (1) One and one-half cents per gallon on or after July 1, 2013, but before July 1, 2014; (2) two and one-half cents per gallon on or after July 1, 2014, but before July 1, 2015; and (3) three and one-half cents per gallon on or after July 1, 2015, provided no excise tax shall be imposed on such fuel used by vessels, railroad, utilities, farmers and the military or such fuel sold for purposes other than for residential heating or domestic hot water.
(b) Each such licensee shall, not later than the first business day of the second month next following the date on which such tax is imposed, file with the Commissioner of Revenue Services, on forms prescribed by said commissioner, a report that shall show the number of gallons of fuel in inventory as of the close of business on the date on which such tax is imposed, or at midnight of such date, and at the same time shall pay such tax based upon the total gallonage shown on such report. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection shall cooperate with the Commissioner of Revenue Services in the enforcement of this tax. Failure to file such report and pay the tax when due shall be sufficient reason to revoke any state license or permit held by such person and interest at the rate of one per cent per month or fraction thereof shall be assessed on the amount of such tax not paid when due, from the date such tax becomes due to the date of payment.
High paid lawyers in the state need not renew their
licenses as evidence by Laura Jordan
From Zachary Janowski http://www.raisinghale.com/2013/03/18/decade-good-standing-state-employee-lawyer/
“She’s not in good standing,”
said Rowe.
“Laura Jordan is
employed in the Office of the State Treasurer as a policy analyst, not a
practicing attorney; the fact that she is not registered is irrelevant to her
job responsibilities at the Treasury,” Nappier said in a statement. “Laura’s
registration with the Statewide Grievance Committee is not up to date. She
apologizes for this error and any confusion it has caused; Laura has contacted
the committee and is working to resolve the issue expeditiously.”
Jordan has worked in
numerous legal positions at the legislature, according to the Office of
Legislative Management, including:
Chief counsel to the
speaker, House Democrats
Chief counsel to the
majority leader, House Democrats
Deputy counsel, House
Democrats
Associate legislative attorney,
Office of Legislative Research
Legislative attorney,
Office of Legislative Research
Through Nappier’s
spokesman, Jordan
Jordan worked as
special counsel to former House Speaker Chris Donovan, D-Meriden, prior to
taking the job as executive assistant for policy with Nappier’s office, a move
first reported by the Courant’s Jon Lender.
Jordan was
tangentially involved in the federal investigation that led to the arrest of
two staffers on Donovan’s campaign for Congress, including a former
boyfriend of hers, for trading legislative favors for campaign
donations. She declined
to participate in the interview.
Here are two examples of the massive problems that we face
as taxpayers in Hartford :
excessively high taxes and excessive
disregard for the law by Democrats. And
we are forced to continue to accept this garbage that comes out of Hartford .

Federal Budget Differences-Paul Ryan Wins
I am curious if Mr. Obama realizes that he needs to put forth a Federal budget each year?
Apparently he needs a few more weeks to gather his plan to raise spending and raise taxes. From what I have been reading the Senate is actually being forced to put forth a budget after missing just the last four years in creating one. No big deal, the excessive, bloated and wasteful Federal spending continued for the past four years with no budget. The Senate's new proposal calls for a mere $1 trillion dollars in new taxes, does not balance the budget and will create even more spending and more National Debt. Thus after four years this was the best the Democrats in the Senate could develop. Amazing.
Representative Paul Ryan has developed a budget which will actually balance the budget, cut spending and reform both Medicare and Medicaid. For those who actually understand Medicare and Medicaid one sees that they are both basically bankrupt and unsustainable in their current form. His budget plan also defunds the economically irrational and unsustainable Obamacare health plan. Mr. Ryan has created a monumental reform of Federal spending which in my economic opinion will actually start to address our massive budget deficits and National Debt. Both which are economically unsustainable in their current form.
Thus the battle begins across the country. Mr.Obama will again use taxpayers monies to travel to campaign for his plans and programs (whatever they may be?) and belittle and condemn the Republican plan. The media in lock step with Obama will rip to shreds this economically logical budget. And we will see more of the same.
I applaud Representative Ryan and his budget. He sees the future and wants to address it. He is proactive economically. And in my economic opinion he will win with his budget, not the stale tax and spend policies/non budgets of a Democrat party who have no idea of economic reality in 2013.

Four Thoughts For Wednesday-Hartford's One Party Rule
Four Thoughts For Wednesday-enjoy:
If Hartford's One Party Rule Representative Hewett was a Republican he would have been forced to have resign over his brutal and sexist remarks-since he is a Democrat he is allowed to continue to hold office. More of the same. Another example of politics and liberalism at its best. What a great two tier system!
Malloy's budget shifts his new Hartford's One Party Rule taxes to municipalities in Connecticut by cutting all sorts of funding-I guess he forgot he used to be mayor of Stamford. Higher taxes and higher spending. More of the same. Another example of politics and liberalism at its best. What a joke the state budget is!
The gun debate rages on in Hartford, what is missing in the entire debate is how Hartford's One Party Rule plans on protecting law abiding citizens from those who will still get guns illegally. More of the same. Another example of politics and liberalism at its best. What a joke these new laws will be!
120,000 illegal and undocumented aliens will soon be on a path to getting driver's licenses in the state of Connecticut thanks to Martin Looney and Hartford's One Party Rule. The proposed law which has the blessings of Hartford's One Party Rule will allow these illegals the ability to get licenses in the state. The argument is that it will make our roads safer, supposedly save $20 million in insurance costs, etc. I am wondering what part of illegal does Hartford's One Party Rule not understand? Maybe when get their licenses they can register to vote, be given free medical care by the state, etc. Maybe legal citizen taxpayers should stop paying their legal taxes if this law goes into effect. More of the same. Another example of politics and liberalism at its best. What a farce Connecticut has become...

Let Us All Sequester! Let Us All Cut Spending!
Let us all sequester.
Let us all cut spending.
But do not cut my federal budget-raises taxes instead!
The economic stupidity taxpayers listen to every day.
I guess with coming sequester, the Federal governments supposed $80 billion dollars plus in cuts will amazingly impact our entire nation in every program, every job in every program and everything our government does. A mere 2% cut in spending will impact a multi-trillion dollar budget in this manner is astounding economic news to me! If a 2% cut is going to do that much damage why don't we try 5 or even a 10% cut in spending-actually a 2% cut is what the Obama Administration did to every American who works for a living through higher Social Security taxes that went into effect this January. So why can't they cut 2% and be done with it? Politics at its best. Especially since there is no compromise allowed with the Obama Administration on any piece of legislation. Especially with the budget and the lack of it by the Senate.
Let us all sequester.
Let us all cut spending.
But do not cut my federal budget-raises taxes instead!
The economic stupidity taxpayers listen to every day.
The Federal government can not sustain a $16 trillion dollar National Debt. Nor can it tax its way out of each and every budget deficit it creates. Federal spending, fraud and waste needs to eliminated immediately for our country to survive economically. However this falls on deaf ears in Washington.
Let us all sequester.
Let us all cut spending.
But do not cut my federal budget-raises taxes instead!
The economic stupidity taxpayers listen to every day.
The time has come and passed to cut spending, cut waste and cut fraud out of our government. Maybe just maybe it is time to actually see economic leadership for once in Washington.
Let us all cut spending.

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.

More spending.

The Governor's Economic Nightmare
I wonder if Governor Malloy actually lives in Connecticut? I know he travels a great deal at taxpayers expense and really wonder if he lives here. After reading his budget proposal and actually trying to understand it, I think I can summarize it with two words: economic nightmare.
There is a one billion dollar budget deficit. Spending is increased. Taxes are raised again at a local level with the supposed elimination of the property tax on vehicles. Along this same tax cut your state income taxes also go up due to the elimination of the vehicle property tax credit. And when all the smoke clears we still have a one billion dollar budget deficit. Along with $80 billion dollars in unfunded liabilities.
Economic nightmare courtesy of Hartford's One Party Rule.
Are there any economic priorities coming out of Hartford? I really do not see any. There are the usual amount of new and improved bills which are there to control yet another aspect of our lives or take away another personal freedom. Feel good legislation is always there, substance legislation does not exist. Spending continues unchecked and in actuality there are no checks and balances to our state government.
Economic delusions.
Economic problems.
Economic debacle.
Welcome to Connecticut, please do overstay your time here.

Let Us Spend More, Let Us Tax More, Let Us Borrow More, Let Us Have Four More Years Of An Economic Debacle
Let us spend more.
Let us tax more.
Let us borrow more.
Let us have four more years of an economic debacle.
The Obama economic solutions to every problem is simplistic in nature.
It is:
Let us spend more.
Let us tax more.
Let us borrow more.
And it has failed our economy more and more.
Those who work and pay taxes in our economy are apparently not doing enough to help solve the Obama economic debacle now in the fifth year. The National Debt has increased almost 60% over the past four years. Real wage growth is non existent. Twenty three million Americans are out of work. Millions more have given up trying to find work at all. Unemployment compensation costs are staggering to businesses and state governments. Our work force participation rate is at an all time low. And the Obama economic debacle plan is to force more out of work with a $9 an hour minimum wage along with yet even newer and higher payroll taxes. We can no longer spend taxpayer's monies that do not exist to any level of prosperity. Inflation is right around the corner with the irrational Federal Reserve policies of creating valueless money out of thin air. The actual costs of Obamacare will be staggering to our economy. The list of irrational economic policies is endless. The economic grandstanding continues.
We need to advance sensible economic policies in our economy. Government at all levels has proven time and time again that it is ill equipped to solve economic problems. The massive size of government at all levels has created economic harm. The path to economic growth and economic freedom is to make government at all levels smaller. A contraction in its size would help to lower spending which would in turn lower taxes. Less governmental jobs at all levels. Gone will be the days of $150,000 a year do nothing managers for example. And gone will be the current economic debacle that our country has turned into. We need less government not more.
But instead we have more spending, more taxing, more borrowing, more, more more. To me it is a bleak economic future.

The State Budget-Much Ado About Nothing
A famous politician once said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself", he was also a liberal Democrat. Here in Connecticut and echoing from the bowels of Hartford is fear. And we as taxpayers and businesses need to fear it. The fear comes in the form of Mr. Malloy's new budget. As in typical lobbying, egotistical and economically irrational pomp and circumstance we will hear of all of these supposed budget cuts, shared sacrifices, and even new and higher spending for pick a program any program. We will see yet even higher state spending and down the road even more state borrowing, more and higher taxes and yet even more unfunded liabilities which have been kicked down the road.
Oops. But it will become another Governors problem in a few years.
What is another $200 million for corporate welfarism in the guise to bring more "biotech jobs" to the state. What is another $1.5 billion for UConn? What is another an additional $152 million over two years to the Education Cost Sharing grant? We are looking another mere $2 billion dollars being borrowed with what will amount to be more failures and more taxes. With no results.
The economically draining One Party Rule in Hartford's game plan has grown stale. It is just more economic rhetoric. We will hear of this great budget. And we will continue to read Connecticut being last in all so many economic categories.
One Party Rule in Hartford's game plan continues to lose the game daily here in Connecticut.

Connecticut's Economic Depression
In my economic opinion Connecticut is in an economic depression of its own making. For many years now the irrational economic policies of Hartford's One Party Rule have taken a great economic toll on the state.
We have seen a mass migration of taxpayers, citizens and our youth flee the state over the past twenty years. We have seen a constant increase in taxes in our state. We have seen our jobs base erode severely. We have seen state social welfare spending increase dramatically-plus an addition 800 more non profit agencies helping those in need in the state. We do not develop business or industry in our state. Excessive taxation, excessive workers compensation costs and a failed transportation infrastructure will not attract business even with Hartford's One Party Rule brand of corporate welfarism in place. We have a massive amount of long term unfunded liabilities - $80 billion dollars and growing - with no end in sight.
We are in a Hartford's One Party Rule economic depression. A depression made by government that is purely irrational in economic terms and policies. Guess what- Hartford's One Party Rule economic policies do not work nor will the Malloy state budget work either. More spending, more taxes, more debt and deficits. Hartford's One Party Rule owns it.

Why Raise The Minimum Wage? Why Put More Out Of Work?
Connecticut's One Party Rule in Hartford never ceases to amaze me with their lack of knowledge of whats left of our state economy. The new twist is to raise the minimum wage to $9. and then to $9.75 in another year.
The minimum wage is floor or minimum that workers legally get in exchange for their labor. It is a wage rate that is usually given to those with little or no work skills-for those who enter the labor market for the first time. Much to the opposite of the One Party Rule in Hartford thought process, you are not able to support a family of four on it nor was it the original intention of the minimum wage for one to do so.
This is where liberal economists and equally liberal politicians who buy their votes come into play. By constantly raising the minimum wage the costs of doing business and the products and services that are being sold go up. And we as consumers pay more for everything because of it. And those who make minimum wage still can not afford to support a family of four with an additional $30 a week less taxes. It is not economically feasible to do so. They too will now pay higher prices for all goods and services in the state.
In my economic opinion one can increase their wages through the greater knowledge, skills and education during their work careers. Liberal politicians do not understand this because many have never held a productive job in their lives nor understand how our economy works. The raising of the minimum wage hurts directly those it is supposedly trying to help in the first place. It will further our state recession and ultimately place more out of work. It will help the further decline of our state economy.
It is a ridiculous proposal in 2013. Does anyone in Hartford understand this?

Connecticut, Taxes and Tolls
Taxes and Connecticut go hand in hand. Our one party dictatorship in Hartford seems never to have enough money to spend. Money to spend on laws and programs approved by special interest lobbying groups who pay their way in our Legislature. Money to spend for layer upon layer of important and economically inefficient state jobs. Money to spend for unlimited social welfare programs. Money to spend for unlimited corporate welfare (but for only who lobby for it-not for small business owners). The list they love to spend taxpayer's money on is endless. It is like to the point of no return or possibly now chronic budget deficits both long and short term.
The next tax brainstorm coming out of one party rule is to bring back tolls. I remember tolls very well. I used to avoid them at all costs driving on Route 1 at all times when I used to live in North Branford. Tolls were mainly on I-95 in Madison, Branford, West Haven, Stratford, and several other spots on the highway. It was ridiculous. And then something happened-people died at the tolls in Stratford and the actual outcry forced the state to eliminate them. Thus we have no tolls in Connecticut. Lives were actually saved.
But all that can change. And our dictatorship is chomping at the bit to bring them back. This new revenue source would help them to spend even more money. It would be a windfall for Hartford to tax and spend even more than they do already. And look at all of the unionized politically connected jobs they could create with tolls! It would definitely be a win-win for our one party rule.
Thus if it moves tax it, if it is lobbied enact it and if it slams our taxpayers even more just do it.
There is no regard whatsoever for taxpayers in Connecticut from our one party rule in Hartford.

Lobbying and Connecticut
Lobbying and Connecticut. The two go hand in hand. Sort of like a pimp with his prostitutes. A recent article by Don Michak of the Journal Inquirer is an amazing piece on the amount of lobbying that goes on in Connecticut and its costs-here is the link http://www.journalinquirer.com/articles/2013/01/16/page_one/doc50f6caaeef26c297374291.txt
According to the article $67.9 million dollars has gone to influence peddling here in our state. Not bad. It is also $67.9 million dollars that taxpayers like you and I can not afford to spend to influence legislators who we supposedly vote into office to seek representation, truth and ethics in state government. Influence peddling? Could this influence peddling have helped to create one of the highest taxed states in the country? Could this influence peddling have helped to create the worse state credit quality in the country? Could this influence have helped to create the worse state debt situation in the country? Could this influence have helped to create our state to be the worse to retire in the country? Could this influence have helped to create the largest achievement gap in education in the country? The list to me is endless. And it is totally non productive money spent by organizations whose only concern in the state is their self interest, self promotion and self satisfaction. All at taxpayer's expense.
Lobbying in my economic opinion is yet another cancer within our economy which inhibits economic growth. Your tax monies are being used against your own free will and in most cases creating a negative economic situation for you and your families. Prices for many goods become artificially higher due in lobbying influence costs added such as price supports and price floors. The corporate subsidization with taxpayers monies do little for job growth nor job creation.
Thus as we can see through Connecticut's lobbyists along with one party rule in Hartford that we as taxpayers have no rights and we have absolutely no say in our government.

State of the State-More Rhetoric, More Taxes, More Spending
More, more, more. Mr. Malloy will give Connecticut his third State of the State speech today. As much he wants to believe that he is, was and will be the greatest Governor Connecticut has ever had, we will hear much of the same. We hear that his massive tax increases are working with a $1 Billion plus budget deficit. We hear that there will be massive cuts in state spending except for most agencies and employees. We will hear how he has handled with ease every crisis he has faced as Governor like no other in our state's history.
We will hear him deny the rumors of his appointment to some great and large position in Washington.
We will hear it all.
More, more, more.
What we will not hear is that Connecticut continues to be an economic mess in his third year of one party rule in Hartford. What we will not hear is how much his massive tax increases have hurt rather than helped the state. What we will not hear is how his corporate welfare gifts have done nothing to create new jobs. And the list is endless. But the rhetoric is not.
We will hear it all.
More, more, more.
And Connecticut continues to struggle and be a lost state economically due to the abuses of one party rule in Hartford. Whatever Mr. Malloy will say will do little to improve those remaining in our state who must support this government which is out of control in so many ways.

Fiscal Cliff=Another Tax Break For General Electric
Gee another tax break for General Electric. Gee it was placed in the fiscal cliff legislation. Gee we are going to pay more in taxes except for General Electric.
Christmas came early once again for General Electric at the expense of those evil taxpayers like you and I who work for a living. The "active financing exception" provision which was stuffed into the fiscal cliff legislation is a way for multinational corporations to defer paying taxes in our country by moving profits into their offshore financial subsidiaries. This is why General Electric avoids paying nearly all of their United States corporate income taxes at the expense of those evil taxpayers like you and I who work for a living. It is corporate greed and corporate welfare at its best.
And the best is that most of our Congress did not even read the bill they were voting which should help to explode the National Debt to well over $20 trillion dollars by the time Obama leaves office in 2016. And still no plan to address the National Debt except by raising taxes and increasing governmental spending.
I have no plans ever to purchase another product made by General Electric or their subsidiaries due to this corporate tax provision. I will no longer support them and or any of their products.
I am a taxpayer who has had enough of this sickening excess of our corporate tax structure and the equally economically inept Congress which allows it.
I will say no to General Electric and all its products and services-and I hope you do also.

2013
I would like to wish all my loyal readers a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Continue to try to strive to become debt free and enjoy economic freedom in your lifetime.
2013 will continue to be a time of economic turmoil with 537 individuals in Washington force feeding us more of the same stale tax and spend policies with the end result being even a higher National Debt that what we have today. And still no plan to pay off either or funded or unfunded National Debt. Ditto for those who rule Hartford.
To try something new such as austerity spending and savings does not exist in Washington or Hartford nor do I think it ever will in my lifetime.
I will leave you with some biblical inspiration:
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”-Romans 15:13
May God Bless You All And May God Still Bless America.

Thursday's Thoughts
Several thoughts and questions for Thursday.
As far as fiscal cliff talks are concerned why isn't the focus on spending cuts, improving efficiency in government and the end to duplicate agencies/programs which do little to improve the economy or help people?
As far as state budget talks are concerned why isn't the focus on spending cuts, improving efficiency in government and the end to duplicate agencies/programs which do little to improve the economy or help people?
How do higher taxes improve an economy? How do higher taxes increase private sector spending?
How are jobs created in the private sector if there are no plans to explain governmental regulations and laws such as Obamacare until after they go into effect? And who pays for them? Any why?
What is the plan to pay off the $16 trillion dollar National Debt?
What is the plan to pay for the approximately $80 trillion dollars in federal unfunded liabilities?
What is the plan to pay for the approximately $40 billion dollars in Connecticut's unfunded liabilities?
Why has the cost of a college education skyrocketed in the past twenty years? My salaries teaching part time on a college level adjusted for inflation are less than what I was making when I started in 1982.
If I lose my right to protect myself and my family through either legal weapons or other forms of protection, how do I defend myself from an armed attack?
Just some random thoughts for today.

Connecticut+Wasted Spending=A Fiscal Nightmare
What no wasted spending in a $20 billion dollar budget? What is a $415 million dollar deficit? No nothing a little soda tax wouldn't do to create even more economic problems in the state.
I am still amazed that Connecticut does not waste any money in any way shape or form according to our leaders. I am also amazed that the only place to cut spending is in social welfare and education programs, two programs that we were told when we had the highest tax increase in our state's history would be saved and that needed to be saved. What a political lie.
What about the $115 million dollars of taxpayers monies that is being used for corporate welfare at its best to pay for a hedge fund to move from Westport to Stamford? Why is this money being spent especially since the CEO of this fund made a mere $3.9 billion dollars last year? Could it be political payback for the city that Malloy was Mayor in? What a waste of taxpayers monies!
What happened to the supposed $180 million dollars in supposed savings from the State Employee Suggestion Box? Apparently no suggestions were made.
Why are we paying $340,000 plus benefits for a head of the Community College System? What is his role and job if any? Aren't the individual Community Colleges run already by Presidents who make a great deal of money in the first place?
The list of waste of taxpayers monies is endless in Connecticut. And realistically there is no end in sight.
A state that is anti business, one of the highest tax rates in the country, excessive transportation costs and excessive workers compensation costs all lead to a road to economic ruin. Connecticut plus wasted spending does equal the ongoing fiscal nightmare of one party rule.

Inflation. It Is Coming.
What is Inflation? According to Investopedia http://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/inflation it is "The rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling. Central banks attempt to stop severe inflation, along with severe deflation, in an attempt to keep the excessive growth of prices to a minimum."
Inflation in my economic opinion is coming. Inflation in my economic opinion is here already. The massive fluctuations in energy prices, food prices, greater and higher taxes along with massive increases in health care costs are already contributing to inflation. Our government dislikes inflation since it increases its borrowing costs to finance its massive National Debt. If you are a saver right now you are not getting any interest on your savings. You as a saver are subsidizing our governments excessive spending and National Debt. The Federal Reserve's constant free money policy will ultimately lead to a valueless dollar along with inflation.
Thus as higher taxes are being desired by Democrats in Washington, higher inflation will be a direct result. And we will not see any meaningful cuts in spending or entitlements for the future. The National Debt will keep increasing. The fiscal cliff will be achieved along with inflation. Good luck with dealing with this new economic debacle on the near horizon.

Higher Taxes=Higher Spending.
It is a simple economic concept that has been proven time and time again. Higher taxes will equal higher spending. As the supposed fiscal cliff comes and goes, higher federal taxes will do little. They will do little in addressing the growing $16.5 trillion dollar National Debt. They will do little in balancing the federal budget (which now has so much off budget/off line item it can not even be counted). And they will do little in actually increasing tax revenue. In other words, Keynesian economic theory has failed in the past and will fail for the future.
What really is needed out of Washington from both parties is a plan to cut federal spending to the bare minimum not supposed cuts to occur over a ten year period nor an Administration and Senate that does not believe in either developing and or passing an actual budget. There is in my economic opinion a great deal of massive waste in spending on economically irrational programs and fraud which takes place in our Federal government which has help to bring our National Debt to unsustainable levels.
Stop campaigning and start to cut spending. The four past years have proven that the economic policies coming out of Washington have done little to stimulate the economy nor address the National Debt. Higher taxes will do little in 2013.

Connecticut Now Must Borrow To Survive? Like Greece?
Oops. Connecticut now needs to borrow to operate. We are the Greece of America, along other poorly run states like Illinois, California and New York.
Connecticut needs to borrow a mere $550 million to survive and pay bills. Sort of like Greece. With the second highest tax rates in the country.
I thought higher taxes were the answer to all of the Democrats problems at every level of government?
Never mind the highest tax increase in the state's history.
Never mind a $1.2 billion budget deficit in the coming fiscal year.
Never mind the amount corporate welfare being given in 2012.
Never mind the one party rule in Hartford which has caused this economic debacle.
Never mind the current administration can't even agree upon the amount of the actual shortfall or deficit depending on which rose colored glasses you are looking through.
Thus Connecticut continues to be broke. And the media believes that the Republicans need to either offer their solutions and or work with the Governor to resolve it. Why? One party rule and the absolute lack of respect the Malloy administration afforded the Republicans in prior budget negotiations during the largest tax increase in our state's history now comes back to bite them. It is a one party rule Democrat problem now. Unfortunately the one party rule can not solve it due to their economic illiteracy. Oops.

Connecticut's Shortfall (Not A Deficit) Just Pick A Number And Spend More
A shortfall. No a budget deficit. No $60 million. No $365 million. No more like $415 million. Pick a number, any number and welcome to our state's fiscal incompetency financed by the remaining taxpayers here in Connecticut.
The Governor could just continue to make up numbers and supposed cuts and the budget shortfall would just go away. By going away the Governor could continue to campaign for reelection and or a new Cabinet post in Washington. Why worry about the fiscal crisis? After all he inherited it from a Democratic Legislature! Oh the irony of fiscal incompetency.
Thus we as taxpayers have no idea what the actual budget deficit is, no idea as to how much higher taxes are going to go, no idea how many more businesses will leave the state and most importantly no idea as to what plan there ever is to address the fiscal crisis.
A shortfall. No a budget deficit. No $60 million. No $365 million. No more like $415 million. Pick a number, any number and accept the fiscal illiteracy that is Hartford and our state's one party rule government.

Back To The Economic Nightmare After 30 Days
30 Days is a long time. I decided to take a break from Swick Speak to rest and recover from the election. Those who actually voted decided they wanted four more years at a national level of an economic recession, higher National Debt and higher taxes. Those who actually voted in Connecticut again embraced one party rule in Hartford, greater state short term and long term debt and much higher taxes in the future.
Thus in the future I will be voting with my feet and moving to a lower taxed state as I see little if any economic future in Connecticut due to this gross mismanagement of tax monies on a daily basis.
On a national level, the media is spinning its wheels about the Republicans not compromising with regards to the impending fiscal cliff coming on January 1, 2013 when much higher tax rates go into effect. I would like to remind my Democratic friends and the media, that the Democrats own the stagnant, recessionary economy in 2012. A proposal that calls for higher taxes and increased spending that is being embraced by the administration will do nothing other than prolong the recession making it an eight years recession (which I can see happening clearly).
If I was a Republican in Congress, I would make our proposal and if it was not accepted then let the fiscal cliff come. And then I would blame completely the Democrats in the House and Senate (they control the Senate and have not passed a budget in almost three years now) and blame the Obama Administration. Again they own the economy.
Yes the higher taxes will hurt and that is apparently what our current administration wants-they to hurt those who are productive in our economy and who work and pay taxes in our economy.
2013=Fiscal Cliff.
2013=Again a much higher National Debt
2013=The Democrats Own The Economy.

Keep Len Fasano State Senator in the 34 Senatorial District
Reelect State Senator Len Fasano in the 34th Senatorial District which covers now Durham, East Haven, North Haven and Wallingford.
As State Senator, Mr. Fasano has done an excellent job representing our community. He is an advocate of lower taxes, less governmental interference in business and industry, and economic growth and prosperity for our state something sorely lacking with our current one party rule in Hartford. His opponent an out-of-touch liberal Democrat who failed as a State Representative offers little if any plan than more and higher taxes and out-of-control state spending. We as taxpayers deserve better.
From the Fasano for Senate website: http://fasanoforstatesenate.com/Senator Fasano has an extensive record of public service accomplishments in
Let us keep Len Fasano as our State Senator for the 34th State Senatorial District. Let us end once and for all one party rule in Hartford.

State Representative Greg Bachand For Wallingford's 85th District
Why does Wallingford continue to elect Mary Mushinsky for State Representative? 32 years of runaway spending and higher taxes. Why do have to have this economic nightmare continue to serve in office? Why must Connecticut be at the bottom of the economic spectrum due to career politicians like Ms. Mushinsky?
Connecticut is an economic nightmare due to career politicians like Mushinsky. We can not sustain the excessive levels of taxes or spending that we have in our state.
Greg Bachand represents a breath of economic fresh air. It is time for a change.

It’s Time For More
More Tax Cuts
Cuts in the Income Tax, Estate Tax, Sales Tax. Cuts in DMV
fees, Court fees, Agency fees. You name it, cut it because the more we send to Hartford the more they
will spend….and spend and spend.
More Bureaucracy Cuts
Ever see a big orange truck protecting another big orange
truck which is protecting another big orange truck protecting a lawn
mower? It’s time for one big orange truck protecting one mower. And
that example extends to every nook and cranny of the State bureaucracy.
More Budget Cuts
Never have so few spent so much and accomplished so
little. Cut the budget and watch the State’s economy blossom.
We are strangling our small businesses with red tape and
approval processes that make it impossible to thrive. Let’s tell the
regulators: “you can keep half of your regulations, which are the most
important?”
Lower taxes, reduce the bureaucracy, cut regulations and get
out of the way. Boom, private jobs will explode.
The truth is, the bigger government gets, the less freedom
we have. Time for smaller government.

Chris Murphy Represents Chris Murphy Not Connecticut-Vote Linda
Gee Chris what is the difference with a union giving money to your campaign or a corporation? The ultimate cost is paid for by either the union worker or by the consumer buying the product or service from the corporation. Sort of like the donations you received from Webster Bank. Sort of like when you forgot to pay your mortgage or your taxes.
Chris Murphy represents Chris Murphy not Connecticut and definitely not those people who actually work in our state. Chris Murphy has never created one job in his long political career. To me I really can not see that he ever worked one day in his life at a productive job. So how does he understand the over worked and over taxed middle class of Connecticut? It is impossible.
Last night's debate once again highlighted how poor of a US Representative Murphy is with his unrealistic views of our economy and nonsensical approaches to programs and laws. He has been a Democrat overseer of the last four year economic debacle his party has help to produce. He offers nothing new but the same stale rhetoric and same stale ideas. More taxes, more spending more for Chris Murphy.
The choice for Connecticut's Senator is clear-Linda McMahon, an individual who has the strength to lead and be a Senator for the taxpayers of Connecticut. Vote Linda.

The Ineptness of Democratic Candidates When Debating
I think most voters who watched last nights debates between McMahon and Murphy and Ryan and Biden saw the Democrats as who they really are.
I am lost after watching these debates as to why anyone would want to vote for either Chris Murphy for Connecticut Senator or the Obama and Biden team. Especially realizing that Mr. Biden would become the President if anything happened to Mr. Obama.
I hear that Joe was Joe last night, if that is the case he is not fit to hold public office let alone be the Vice President. However it is good to see that voters are starting to see what our current Administration is all about-political and economic ineptness, lies and spins on security issues, stimulus packages to Sesame Street, the list is endless. It is truly amateurs in office in this taxpayer's eyes.
On a state level the misguided Murphy Senate campaign continues to stumble. As a taxpayer I really would like an actual answer to all of Mr. Murphy's issues with his mortgages and taxes. After all we have to pay our taxes on time but I guess I must remember that Murphy and his fellow Democrats are exempt from the tax laws that we have in our state. What is his actual job program that he talks about? How did he create any jobs? Why can't he pass a federal budget which address the National Debt? Why is a strong defense bad for our country? In my economic opinion he is also unfit to serve our state and taxpayers.
The choices are clear and should be to anyone who still has not made up their minds to vote.
For United States Senator in Connecticut Linda McMahon.
For President Mitt Romney and Vice President Paul Ryan.
The ineptness on the part of these Democratic candidates when debating is frightening.

Why Won't Rosa Debate? Wayne Winsley for Congress
Why won't Rosa DeLauro debate her opponent Republican Wayne Winsley? I guess it is beneath her to explain her robust liberalism/socialism policies to the taxpayers she supposedly represents. Her liberalism and socialistic policies astound me as a taxpayer. During the health care debate her only concern was to force Obamacare down our throats because of all of the people who did not have health insurance in our country. And guess what they still do not have health insurance and our premiums are sky rocketing.
What about a plan to pay down the National Debt? Or how about some sound economic policies which promote economic freedom not socialism? Or what about the issues with the Notch Year Social Security recipients?
The list is endless and DeLauro has been in office way too long.
But she will not debate Republican Wayne Winsley. Sort of like in a socialistic society-one party rule-a dictatorship-it serves her well.
I continue to be astounded as to why voters continue to vote her into office here in Connecticut's Third Congressional District. She continues to do nothing for us except promote her brand of socialism.
Republican Wayne Winsley provides a great alternative-he believes in lower taxes, he believes in a free market economic system, he believes in a strong family base, he believes in eliminating burdensome regulations, he believes in a strong national defense and he believes in actual energy independence.
He will actually represent the taxpayers of our district and show real leadership for Congress.
You do have a choice if you live in Connecticut's Third Congressional District, you can vote for Republican Wayne Winsley for Congress and facilitate a badly needed change for the good of our district.

What Debate? President Romney Takes Charge.
What debate?
That was a debate between Presidential candidates?
Has Mr. Obama actually been President for the past four years with high energy price inflation, non existent interest rates for savers, a $6 trillion dollar increase in the National Debt and a socialized health care plan which does little to help our countries health? That is the record he is running on and last night proved how unprepared he is to be President and continue another four years of his economic debacle that he has nurtured as President. What a wasted four years for our economy and nation.
Mr. Romney proved once again why he is the choice for President in November. He proved his ability to see our nation's future, to solve our nation's problems, to develop an economic plan for economic growth in our economy and showed true leadership qualities sorely lacking in Mr. Obama.
The choice is even more clear after last night's debate.
President Romney and Vice President Ryan, true leadership for America after the four year economic nightmare we have endured.

The Ethics Complaint That Wasn't And No More Credibility Seen
Tuesday night in Wallingford saw the Ethics complaint that wasn't as the Wallingford resident after much rhetoric withdrew his complaint about Councilmen John LeTourneau and Tom Laffin and their supposed conflict of interest they had with Holy Trinity School and the council's actions with regards to a proposed wall repair at the school on Center Street.
Mr. Letourneau's supposed crime was that his grandchildren were enrolled at the school. Mr. Laffin's supposed crime was that his son attends Catholic education classes once a week at the school. I truly hope they entertain legal action against these unfounded charges which they were forced to respond to.
I view this whole situation as a complete and utter waste of time and taxpayers monies. Why this even reached this stage is beyond me. And we as taxpayers should start questioning the actual political motives of these constant accusations which are brought up all the time by these "supposed" watchdogs of our town. And we as taxpayers should start adding up how much these actions are costing us as taxpayers for the political advancement and well being of these watchdogs.
Fix the damn wall at the school and pave the damn Simpson Court parking lot.
Actions actually do speak louder than words in most cases.

No More Taxes Or Mortgages Thanks To Chris Murphy
No More Taxes Or Mortgages Thanks To Chris Murphy! I guess if Chris Murphy got elected as Senator we the taxpayers of Connecticut would no longer have to pay any more taxes or worry about paying our mortgages! Wait a minute-you mean only Chris Murphy or other like Democrats in Connecticut are allowed to do this? Why is that? Oh because rules and laws do not seem to apply to Chris Murphy and other like Connecticut Democrats? You mean sort of like the issues Chris Donovan faced possibly selling influence in bills and laws we the taxpayers of Connecticut have to abide by. You mean these same laws and rules are not applicable to the Murphys and Donovans of the ruling elite-Connecticut Democrats?
I am really confused now.
We still get to pay one of the highest state tax burdens in the country even though Chris Murphy does not to follow or possibly ignores the laws we as the taxpayers of Connecticut must follow.
Two tier system-have versus have nots. Taxpayers versus the Connecticut Democrat Ruling Elite.
I guess we see who will win.
I am voting for Linda McMahon for United States Senator. Not Chris Murphy and his lies.

Economic Debacle Versus Economic Renaissance?
That is the choice in the upcoming Presidential
election. Voters have a choice between
another four years of an economic debacle or taking a new course with an
economic renaissance taking place. Do
you really want to continue four more years of economic lies, economic
uncertainty and economic malaise?
Four more years of an Obama administration will bring more
of the same. More economic
debacles. More economic
uncertainty. More and higher taxes. More socialized medicine. Are you better off than you were in
2009? Will you actually be better off in
2012 with an Obama rather than a Romney administration?
And what about you the business owner? Do you want more regulations which will
continue to strip your economic viability and profitability? Do you want government to continue to tell you
what you can and can not do in your own business? The same business you created yourself not
with any help from the government.
We can have an economic renaissance in our economy. We can not have it with four more years of
failed Obama economic policies, rules and laws. We can not afford it any more.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan can provide for that economic
renaissance. It can only happen with
your vote for them in November.

A 50%+ Increase In The National Debt? And You Want Him Reelected?
What is a few trillion dollars when it is not yours and you are not counting? What is a $16 trillion dollar National Debt anyways? What is another round of printing valueless fiat money? What promises at what costs are needed to be so desperately reelected so that more economic debacles can occur and more National Debt can be dumped upon future generations of our country? And what price must we continue to have this false and failed supposed leadership of the Obama Administration-why can not it mercifully end in January?
A 50% plus increase in the National Debt continues to break the economic back of our economy to the point of no return. What is the Obama Administration's plan to eliminate the Debt? Are there any economic plans other than the complete socialization of our economy? Why is wealth bad and yet Democrats embrace taking away as much as they can of it to buy votes?
It is a sickening economic way to run our economy and country. And we as a government and economy can not sustain a $16 trillion National Debt which is owned by the Obama Administration.
We need a change economically-only Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan can facilitate that change in November.

According To Our Governor We Are Better Off in 2012 Under Obama?
I am confused. Our Governor Malloy who apparently spends little time here in Connecticut Governing (actually micromanaging is a better term) is stating that we are better off under Mr. Obama than four years ago from the Democratic National Convention. I am curious if he still gets his salary while campaigning down there?
From a purely economics point of view I am astounded that our self appointed Governor-For-Life has made that statement.
Doesn't Mr. Malloy understand that the unemployment rate has yet to go down in the past four years?
Doesn't Mr. Malloy understand that many have given up trying to find work after being unemployed in the past four years?
Doesn't Mr. Malloy understand that the sub prime mortgage debacle has not been cleaned up in the past four years?
Doesn't Mr. Malloy understand that savers receive little if any interest on their savings in the past four years?
Doesn't Mr. Malloy understand that socialized health care has done little for our economy in the past four years?
Doesn't Mr. Malloy understand that Six Trillion Dollars in new National Debt has done little to stimulate our economy in the past four years?
The economic debacle list is endless under the Obama Administration.
Sorry Governor we are far from being better off than we were four years ago. We are in a constant crisis of leadership and a constant economic crisis for four long years now. You have done a great deal to contribute to it locally with the highest tax increase in our state's history and still running deficits.
I am still confused, thus I will be voting in November for real leaders Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for President and Vice President.

Connecticut's Senate Race-Why I Am Voting For Linda McMahon
I am still trying to figure out what Chris Murphy is offering the taxpayers of Connecticut. As a Representative in Congress besides missing many meetings and the like he has done little if anything for our state and nation's economy. He has no experience in running a business and little if any experience in his life other than being a paid, professional politician. He really has no clue of work and productivity as it seems to me that everything has been handed to him in his lifetime.
How he can represent the taxpayers of our state is beyond me? He has no plans and or future visions of anything-he is truly a politicians politician, offering nothing to those who are productive in our economy. He loves our welfare state and its never ending dependencies upon our failed government in Washington. He loves the splendor of the economic debacle he currently resides over as a member of Congress. And he loves the continual erosion of our personal freedoms which continue to be advanced by Mr. Obama.
He is a poor candidate as a Senator.
Linda McMahon is the breath of fresh air those who work for a living desperately needs as our new Connecticut Senator. We see in Senator Blumenthal, another paid professional politician who slams business and industry yet is the seventh wealthiest member of the Senate. We see he has done nothing to pass a budget which is mandated by the Constitution-funny for a person who slammed laws down many taxpayers and businesses as Attorney General. He has done nothing for the taxpayers of Connecticut. We do not need another do nothing Senator Chris Murphy to waste our taxpayers monies. Enough is enough.
Linda McMahon is a dynamic woman who will be an excellent Senator for our State. She is caring and has massive business experience. She is a winner and has the ability to lead something sorely lacking in Mr. Blumenthal and Mr. Murphy.
Senator Linda McMahon, she has my vote in November. I hope you vote for her too.

I Am Out Of My Mind According To Governor Malloy And Am Glad That I Am!
According to my Governor I am out of my mind.
I found this while Mr. Malloy was out of state campaigning for Mr. Obama:
http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20120826-NEWS-208260352
I found this while Mr. Malloy was out of state campaigning for Mr. Obama:
http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20120826-NEWS-208260352
Malloy said Obama has done a fantastic job, in his opinion.
"Anyone who votes for the Romney-Ryan team is out of their mind," he added.
Thus I am out of my mind along with a majority of voters this coming November due to our voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as our new President of the United States.
I will counter that one must be out of their minds to vote for Mr. Obama for four more years after the economic debacle he has created in our economy since 2009-he owns the economy now with its excessively high unemployment, lack of transparency, runaway budget deficits, and six trillion dollars in new National Debt. It is his issue no one elses.
Thus I am out of my mind along with a majority of voters this coming
November due to our voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as our new
President of the United States.
I am glad that I am out of my mind and wish my Governor would actually stay in his state and govern for a change-but Mr. Malloy now owns the economic debacle that is Connecticut-stagnant growth, poor job formation, excessive taxation, massive budget deficits and massive unfunded liabilities.
Thus I am out of my mind along with a majority of voters this coming
November due to our voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as our new
President of the United States.

Why I Support Linda McMahon For United States Senator on Tuesday
On Tuesday August 14 I am voting in the Republican primary for a change in government. I am voting for a change in the stale policies and politics of years gone by. I am voting for a change in economic plans and ideas. I am voting for a person who can place policies above politics. I am voting for a person who is self made and actually has been a job creator. I am voting for a person who understands business and industry. I am voting for a person who truly will represent me and understand the severe economic climate and times that we live in.
My vote goes to Linda McMahon for our next United States Senator. She is an articulate and economically literate woman who has the ability to see the issues as they are. We live in troubling times economically. We live in times of mistrust of elected officials who say one thing to get elected and then do another in office.
Linda McMahon understands the duties she will be handed as our next United States Senator from Connecticut. I can envision her working well with a Republican Senate and President Romney. I can see her upholding her Constitutional duty of passing a budget something that Harry Reid and Dick Blumenthal do not understand nor care about.
I can see once again the American Dream of economic prosperity starting to reemerge from the cancer of the many years of political thievery and neglect from a Senate whose only concern is their own self interest. We will start to rid ourselves of the Democratic Senate elitism which has failed our economy miserably with misguided and economically irrational policies.
Our stale liberal Connecticut media can bash Linda McMahon all they want and support the lethargic recycled other RINO candidate-she will not yield as she will truly represent our state with ethics, dignity and rational economic thought.
I urge those voting Tuesday to Vote for Linda McMahon for our next United States Senator from Connecticut.

When Is The Sherwood Island Mitt Romney Fundraiser?
Mr. Malloy, I am curious as to when the Mitt Romney
fundraiser will be at Sherwood Island and the use of Connecticut taxpayers
monies to help pay for it?
What do you mean that a candidate can not use it for
fundraising? Oh because he is a
Republican candidate that is why. I
understand now, it is ok to use my taxpayer money to help Mr. Obama raise
money. I really do not know what I was thinking;
by the way I am curious as to how much did it actually cost Connecticut taxpayers last night for the
events? Oh I understand again I am not
supposed to know and the liberal media can not tell me. Silly me!
Mr. Obama talks about the poor and tax breaks for the rich
while he attends a Connecticut
fund raiser at $38,500 per person using apparently taxpayer’s monies to help
him through his travels.
I am curious how people who are unemployed feel about the
President accepting that kind of money and then talking from the other side of
his mouth about shared sacrifice. That
should make you feel good-especially coming from a President who has spent the
past four years running for re election on a platform of no accomplishments and
rampant deficit spending. Maybe Mr.
Obama should have tried to actually lead and govern for the past four years
rather play the stale and tired blame game that he and his Democratic party has
mastered.
Do you like the hope and change we have had for the past
four years? I haven’t especially when
now my tax money has to go to help pay for his fund raiser. What an abuse of power and waste of taxpayer’s
monies.
Vote Mitt Romney in November for President.

100 Days? 4 Years? President Mitt Romney
Where has the time gone? Just a few years ago there a great deal of hope, change and rhetoric ushering in our new President. We did not know much about Mr. Obama, his school records were sealed, his birthplace a mystery, his work background sketchy. Thus he became President by a small margin of victory.
And looking at his Administration we could see very quickly many deficiencies and issues. The Secretary of Treasury forgot to pay his taxes, he became confused on his role in Libor. The Secretary of State supported/not support certain governments/regimes causing confusion. Economic stimulus programs came and went causing the National Debt to balloon by $6 trillion dollars in less than four years. The list to me seems endless of the failures of this Administration from both an economic and social standpoint.
Are you better off than you were in 2008? Not in my economic opinion.
We really do not need another four years of learning on the job with a socialistic twist and effort to it. We need leadership, we need economic growth, we need stability in our economy, and we need truth in our government.
We need Mitt Romney as our President. A vote for Romney is truly a vote for change And we need to change our President as soon as possible.

Wednesday's Ramblings-Just More Of The Same Economic Illiteracy
It is a hot summer here in one party rule Connecticutax. The latest sides being taken by the Governor and the Attorney General in the Nursing Home strike is economically irrational. Since when should our elected officials be involved in this type of situation? To buy union votes? Or for what other reasons?
By the way how is that growing budget deficit doing here in our one party rule state?
Representative Mary Mushinskys recent taxpayer paid for reelection brochure came in the mail the other day. I was wondering if she was serious about what she wrote about in it. It was very funny to see no mention of all of the higher and new taxes which were shoved down her 85th District taxpayers throats over the past two years-hey what about all of those tax increases she has consistently voted upon since she has been elected to office? We will not mention those now would we? We instead will talk about all of the business friendly incentives she and her one party ruled passed this past session-just after this massive tax increases and anti business laws that were passed last year. Confusing? It is meant to be that way when one party rule is economically illiterate. It is rhetoric and over taxation at its best. Please vote for someone new in November-Greg Bachand for the 85th State Representative District.
By the way how is that growing budget deficit doing here in our one party rule state?
Oh and I almost forgot, I still believe in hard work, in private education, in capitalism, in success and freedom from a tyrannical government. Just the opposite of what I can not believe I heard come from the President of the United States. Please vote for someone new in November-Mitt Romney for President.
By the way how is that growing National Debt doing here in our country?

Connecticut's Continuing Economic Woes
And there continue to be many. Many, many economic woes. The latest is that our state ranks a mere 44 out of 50 states in the cost of doing business. Business owners continue to fight on a daily basis excessive state regulations, excessive state and local taxes, a problematic unemployment compensation unlimited giving system, high workers compensation costs and a poor transportation infrastructure. Why would you want to operate a business in Connecticut? Couple that with a cost of living that ranks 48 out of 50 states next to only Alaska and Hawaii! Unbelievable.
And the Murphys, Donovans, and Mushinskys of Connecticut's one party rule are running for elected office once again on their records. Their records of high taxes, excessive spending, political nepotism and economic illiteracy. That is some great record to run on.
Connecticut's continuing economic woes will not end until we see new people in office who know how to lead and do what is ethically right and economically right. Enough is enough to this waste of government and business in our state.

236 Years of Freedom July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2012
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

When Did A Politician Ever Not Like A Tax? Now We Tax Healthcare
So now we tax healthcare. Or Obamacare is not a tax?
Or now it is? What else can we tax in our economy? The air we
breath for one thing.
In pure economic terms our economy can not support the tax
increases which are coming in 2013 plus an addition $75 to $100 billion a year
in new health care taxes during the middle of a continual economic recession.
Our economy will basically collapse with a staggering $15 trillion plus
national debt and $1 trillion plus a year in new taxes. I also will remind any
elected official at any level of government that they can sign up for any of my
Macroeconomics and Microeconomics classes that I teach to learn about our
economy that they are hell bent upon destroying with their economic illiteracy
of how our economy works. It is economic illiteracy at the highest level
and signals in my economic opinion our Second American Revolution starting by
an abused tax paying public who are sick of being incessantly raped
by their elected officials for their own political gain.

Connecticut's Dirty Unemployment Fund Secret
It is a secret. Please do not tell anyone or actually read this in our media. One party rule in Hartford definitely does not want this to be heard. Connecticut's Unemployment Trust Fund is a mere $630 million in the hole. They became insolvent back in 10/13/2009. The $630 million is the amount they owe in the loan they were forced to take from the United States Department of Labor. But here is the best part of the secret, to help pay for the interest on this loan all who pay unemployment taxes in our state get to pay an additional tax of $25.50 per full time employee this August! 50 full time employees equals $1275 in taxes to the state on top of all of the other state unemployment taxes a company pays here. But I know we will not see this or question this in August.
The secrets of one party rule continue to defy any type of economic logic. Where are the companies of our state going to find the money for this tax? And what is really being done to help create new jobs in a state that has $70 billion dollars in unfunded liabilities, one of the highest tax rates already in the country and really a sickening and abysmal economic record for decades now?
Thus it is more of the same by one party rule. Keep giving tax monies to those who have business political connections, give away all you can to remain in one party power and most of all continue the incessant rape of the Connecticut taxpayer at all levels. What a waste of a state economy.

I Do Not Know Anything. Or Just Vote Me As Your Congressional Representative.
I do not know anything. I do not know anything going on in my campaign. I do not have any influence over legislation as Speaker of the House especially when a bill is in the Senate. I do not know where the contributions come in from. I do not know that the FBI was at my nominating convention. I do not know that lobbyists have influence over legislation that I help to sponsor. I do not know anything about anything going on in my campaign. I do not know that I was supposed to be involved in my campaign so as to know that nothing illegal was going on.
Why won't anyone believe me that I do not know anything. And why won't the voters vote me in as their Fifth Congressional District Representative now, right now and forget about all these contributions?
I truly hope voters will not vote into office a man who does not know anything as their new Representative. And we do not call it Corrupticut for nothing. Then again it seems to me that no one elected really knows anything going on in our state that has one party rule. Corruption is what I feel is going on in our state instead.

Wallingford's Woodgate 2012
Wallingford. Woodgate. 2012. One of the most critical issues facing Wallingford in 2012 is the disposal of wood from last years storms. Woodgate has now been created to waste now even more taxpayers monies in order to satisfy the inquisitive and never satisfied Town Councilor-Mayoral Wanna Be who supposedly represents us.
This crisis of wood has developed due to the wrong dumping apparently of a load of wood during the cleanup after the storms. I am wondering if the Town Councilor actually realized the magnitude of the amount of clean up after these storms? I am wondering if he was out there helping homeowners clean up their yards? Was he at the town compost area inspecting vehicles and directing traffic?
The massive amounts of wood that came down were probably of historical proportions and took a long period of time to clean up. I still have a large tree that has to be cut up in my back yard. However why we are wasting taxpayer's monies to investigate this situation is beyond me. I guess we need to satisfy what seems to be the pressing need to keep one's name in front of the media and in front of the public at all times whether or not it is worthy of it.
And in my opinion Woodgate is one of these times. And as a taxpayer I truly resent that one penny of my tax money needs to be spent investigating it. What happened seems to have been a mistake, the wood was picked up from the house it was dumped at and move on from it. It is another non event in which the Democrats again hope that they somehow gain political strength from.

The Tired Tax and Spend Policies of Mary Mushinsky
From the 5/19/2012 Record Journal
http://www.myrecordjournal.com/wallingford/article_a41cd29c-a222-11e1-aab3-001a4bcf887a.html
http://www.myrecordjournal.com/wallingford/article_a41cd29c-a222-11e1-aab3-001a4bcf887a.html
Mushinsky defended her vote for Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s budget, which raised taxes by $1.8 billion. She said constituents surveyed didn’t want to see cuts to such services as education funding, rental assistance and programs for the elderly. A 20 percent drop in revenue due to the recession meant that increases in taxes were needed to close the state’s budget gap, Mushinsky said.
“We had to balance the budget, and I think we did it in the most efficient way possible,” she said.
It is the usual. Tax and spend, tax and spend. Another election in Wallingford and in the 85th State Representative District. For 32 years now, the taxpayers of the moving 85th District have had to suffer through the economically misguided tax and spend policies of State Representative Mary Mushinsky. Mercifully it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel for taxpayers in this district. Two strong candidates are emerging in the Republican party to challenge and defeat the 32 year incumbent this November. Representative Mushinsky seems to be proud of all of the economic damage she has helped to inflict upon our community and state in the name of one party rule which rules Hartford.
She has voted for every tax increase she has seen in 32 years including our economic cure all state income tax which has done little to shore up our overspending by the one party rule in Hartford. She has help to lead Connecticut down the path of economic ruin with excessive tax and spending programs which have forced businesses, taxpayers and our youth to move out of our state. She and her Democratic party are the problem in our state. One party rule and rule by irrational economic policies has help to bring the state on to economic chaos. Just a gentle reminder that nothing has been done to address the $60 to $80 billion dollars worth of unfunded liabilities that the state still has. Thus we just continue to see tax and spend.
Remember Representative Mushinsky help to pass the highest tax increase in states history. She has never voted against a tax increase. Don't the taxpayers of Wallingford deserve better in November?
Tax and spend, tax and spend. There is no economic logic in one party rule or by the economically irrational budget that was passed.

What Is Another $180,000 Of Taxpayers Wasted Monies?
When you are one party rule and you waste billions upon
billions of dollars what is another $180,000 of taxpayers monies wasted?
I mean the $180,000 I guess was going to create some shovel ready jobs
for some Democratic donors for the new and highly needed Washington-Rochambeau
Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail website. I can not
think of a more critical project for our one party rule to waste taxpayers
monies on than the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National
Historic Trail website. How can our state move forward economically
without the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic
Trail website? How many jobs will be loss if the Washington-Rochambeau
Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail website is not created for
$180,000. I applaud Wallingford
Candidate for State Representative Greg Bachand for saving taxpayers a mere
$179,940.95 by being able to create the same Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary
Route National Historic Trail website at a cost of $59.05. Bachand
has highlighted the economic debacle and economic illiteracy of what one party
rule does to our state. Why must we waste taxpayer’s monies on this Washington-Rochambeau
Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail website? How many more
of these ridiculous projects has one party rule passed in this budget? At
the same time with the highest tax increase is state's history, still more
budget deficits and every type of socially liberal bill passing and enacted to
harm our quality of life here in Connecticut . I
can not think of a more critical project for our one party rule to waste
taxpayers monies on than the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route
National Historic Trail website. It really says it all of one party rule
in Connecticut .
Keep up the good work Mr. Bachand-I hope you represent us come November.
