Thanks, Jim. The RTC statement is just common sense.

The governor (God bless us, we've got four more years of that jerk) is just another tax and spend Democrat, who misuses language, lies, and has no problem spending our money to help his cronies. So much for his promise not to raise taxes. What a damn liar. So much for his arithmatic. Saying his budget does not increase spending when it does. So much for his blatent cronyism - no deal with the unions, but he claims that out of the goodness of their hearts they will give up two billion dollars after the budget passes. What a deceiptful moron. And worse, he thinks we are all stupid.

He really should be impeached. I believe we are looking at the start of the most corrupt regime in Connecticut history. All residents of Connecticut will have the privilage and pleasure of paying more taxes to support his unions - they own him, they love him. He's their boy.

Nothing he says is logical. He is already a proven liar, and he has only been governor for two months. He is obviously a union hack and a political Boss Tweed.

I sure hope he gets caught doing something illegal, and soon. Four years of him will destroy Connecticut.
