And New Jersey.
The Democrats in Trenton have tried to block Christie at every turn and are. Now running Corzine 2.0...
If you ask me, Connecticut is the sorriest state in the Union.
Welcome to Maryland: bring your wallet.
Not Rauener..he’s trying his damndest. He is an anti Trump prick but he can’t make any headway as long as Chicago exists.I live in illanoy.
“This could have been written about CT as well”
Also California. It’s amazing how many people here really believe Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsome have the state really booming. They are ignoring all the signs: The housing bubble is back. Homes are way over priced again and people are taking out equity to by boats, motor homes, etc. Businesses are still leaving the state in droves. Small businesses are failing in large numbers here (the small business I was working for had to fold up in February) and business start ups are at an all time low because no one can afford the taxes and fees. The only real stable industry here is the wine business because the climate is so perfect.
California is on the verge of collapse. Wait until Moonbeam II’s new gas tax and registration fees kick in. People are going to suffer (and rightfully so, Brown has an 75% approval rating). Fortunately there is no Republican in sight to blame. Every state wide office is held by a Democrat and Democrats have super majorities in the state senate and assembly.
This is why I spend as many weekends as possible working the reloading press.

The University of Illinois Springfield professors/ teachers went on strike right before finals at the end of the school year.
Make the leftist pensioners go door-to-door and demand that their neighbors give them money and see what happens.
There 12+ major construction projects in the Loop. Most are high rise condos, fifty stories and higher. If you count McCormick square [South of 12th Street] - there are 25 projects. Not sure who is moving in or why they want to live in Chicago, but construction is booming.
The same ones who took a few days off in November.
I thought California would be the first to go.
State bureaucracy majority laid off, rest shrinks to caretaker status. National guard mobilized under an appointed territorial governor for territory law enforcement. All state, county & municipal unions decertified, K-12 system shrinks to minimum staff 1 - 12 classrooms open, 1 teacher per class. No state funds for outside activities such as sports, etc.
Another great Democrat success story.

I would tend to say the same but I remember 10+ years ago when people were claiming CA was at the brink of “bankruptcy” and couldn’t possibly stay solvent for another year.
How would Medicare wipe out state finances?
Medicaid.
Considering they passed a 400 billion dollar piece of hcare legislation without any concern how it will be funded, they have an excellent chance at it.
It’s hard to see how even block-granted Medicaid funds would do that.
If that really goes through to become law.
