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.
