There was an article in the WSJ yesterday. Foley says further tax hikes are impossible, it’s time to cut spending.

When the Dems say this, you know you’re in trouble.

Where is Foley from CT or ? Yes I watched the De-industrialization of CT. It was a place of Engineers in Aerospace ( Kaman, Pratt, H-S, Sikorsky and all their suppliers ) Power ( Combustion Engineering ) , CAD-tech Gerber Scientific. How many are left or downsized and are a shell of their former self. CE is almost gone, the remains of it may be winding down from a gnome I have still with what is left of it.

These were good jobs, people with sharp minds, great draftsmen, engineers, assemblers, inspectors, and manufacturing. Now they are farming stuff out to Puerto Rico, when the heck did they become a center of excellence in aerospace?

Now what does CT have? Legacy Cost is my guess at the State Employee level. Dang shame IMHO.

In retrospect Weicker and his State Income Tax was the beginning of this downfall....
