The structural behavior of our elected leaders in Hartford is most confusing. Any economically challenged person would stand in agreement with the policies of the Democratic majority and their Republican colleagues. If the incumbents are returned to office, then I for one would attest that the majority of electorate in Connecticut would be just that; economically challenged.
To the rest of us clear thinking taxpayers, we are left with the challenge of paying the price for their misgivings. Connecticut by far, is an excessively taxed State. We currently have the highest per capita tax rate that professes us to be one of the wealthiest states that truly isn't.
Our distinguished and disgraced elected leaders continue to tax and spend while permitting a shell game of confusion to surround their fiscal deceleration into sure bankruptcy. While we the people are lucky enough to face a nearly $4 billion deficit in Connecticut alone in the coming years. We are also enabled to enjoy an insulting form of stupidity by both the Democrats and Republicans alike that would surprise even the most conscious stricken derelicts of society if in fact they would take a moment to ponder their up and coming financial fate.
At stake, is the future of our children, our hard earned dollars, and the very sense of well being that this lovely New England State once held.
Today, our future would be elected leaders must thoroughly take a position of leadership that would allow them to make the hard and difficult decisions that are not user friendly to an incumbent minded candidate. Being as incumbentness is catchy, I hardly think however the chosen few will step to the plate. For the next elected leaders to step forward and truly lead, tough decisions on the size and cost of government must surely be addressed. Unions must be fought, binding arbitration must be reformed, the welfare system needs an abrupt and exact overhaul that not only addresses the life long sentence of entitlements but also treats the cancerous state of fraud that we face, and finally the size of government must be scaled back to a necessary but realistic level.
The next set of elected leaders must take bold steps to bring this State back on track even though the unintended consequences would mean certain death to their political careers.
On the flip side the alternative would be to remain status quo which we all know to be a peculiar idiosyncrasy into fiscal insanity.
