Last night, I glanced at the local paper touting the “STEP-Up job training program” in CT. It seems $30 million of our tax dollars have enabled 297 businesses to hire 699 employees statewide. That’s $42K per. For a year. What then? No skin off the employer’s nose - they get a headcount for nothing while the money lasts. But this sure doesn’t sound like “employment” in the strict sense - although it sure does add to Obummer’s employment figures... What a racket.
Seeing old WTIC brought back memories! Seventy years ago we’d listen to the G.Fox Morning Watch while getting ready for school. When the Connecticut March was played at 8 it was the signal to walk down to the bottom of the hill for the school bus! Back then I was the only child whose parents voted for FDR—they were all Wilkie supporters. He was a very scary man to me.
A friend just told me last Sunday—with great disdain in her voice—that the Hartford Courant is now owned by Fox News! I made no comment (with great restraint)! The Oldest Newspaper in the United States was left-wing as long as I can remember. Must say it warmed my heart!
