Economics and politics
Unit:
If you think Minnesota is bad (and I'm sure it is) you should live in Connecticut and really suffer.
Although we have a Republican Governor, he's a Republican In Name Only (RINO). The legislature is mostly Democrat and liberal, big-spending, high-taxing Democrat at that.
We have a 'Corporate Responsibility' activist group that wants to mandate a bunch of looney restrictions on CT business that would ruin them, if ever implemented. Unfortunately, many legislators are looking at these ideas as viable.
The looney left always prattle about jobs; one of the howlers in this groups mission statement is that they demand, demand that businesses provide more 'good-paying jobs' for Connecticut citizens. How asinine is that? As if jobs are a commodity that can be made out of thin air.
What they really want is a socialist, no, a communist government where everyone has a 'job', no one is well paid and everyone suffers equally, except the ruling elite, which would be these idiots, of course.
Don't get me started on politics and the adverse effect liberal/socialist schemes have on business and the economy.
It's a nice day and I don't want to ruin it or hijack your thread, but this subject gets me annoyed to no end by the sheer stupidity of politicians and too much of the citizenry, especially here in Connecticut, once a stable, Republican, business-friendly state. No more. The liberal Democarts took over a long time ago and it's been all downhill since then. If anyone doubts it, look at our U.S. Senators. 'Cryin' Joe' Lieberman and Chris Dodd, who never met a South american communist dictator he didn't embrace. Lieberman always wrestles with his conscience over moral decisions and to date, his conscience has never won.
Be thankful you only have to deal with Jesse Ventura. At least he's entertaining.
