NEW YORK (Reuters) - Connecticut this autumn probably would have just a little more cash than it needs to pay a week's expenses unless it issues $520 million of debt, according to the state treasurer.
Treasurer Denise Nappier, in a letter to the Connecticut Bond Commission, outlined her response to concerns that were raised about the state's finances by a legislator.
If the planned offering of general bond obligations were delayed until 2011, "This coming fall the state would likely have just over a week's worth of expenses in the bank -- a level lower than advisable," Napier wrote in an August 13 letter that is posted on her web site: http://www.state.ct.us/ott/pressreleases/press2010/PRNappierToSBC081310.pdf
"Conceivably, the State may run out of funds for capital expenses that have already been authorized, allocated and incurred, such as school construction projects," she added.
This is happening in other states as well, some are in worse shape. Public growth has been out pacing private growth for years now. They can tax us all the want, bottom line, too much spending. Everyone in America could pay everything they own in taxes and it wouldn't even come close to covering the long term obligations. Give all your money to uncle sam, and you'll get back what ever's left, if anything.

ReplyDeleteAlso Mickey D's is death. Every time I eat ten or eleven heifer burgers and a pound or two of tater turds and wash it down with a bucket of Poosie, I feel a little heavy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know how it happened but my arms are so fat I can't put'em by my sides and my face is so fat I don't have a neck anymore and my ass makes me look like a baby hippo and my boyfriend was here for popcorn and movie the other day and I fell asleep and when I woke up his shoes were where he left'em but I couldn't find him and haven't seen him anywhere since.
I think I'll get some exercise and go to Mickey D's.
Wish I had a weeks cash left..2 pension cheques; 1 from a great company I spent 35 years with, and 1 from CPP govt. cheque. So far, the Canadian pension system has been pretty good-damned good in fact. If I don`t croak before 65 then I get old age pension as well It`s still damn hard to make em stretch tho. Went to A&W this am for a ratburger- $9.05 for a Pappa cheeze/onion rings-OUTRAGEOUS!! Since they enacted this damned HST tax in BC, it`s bankrupting us! They had better get their heads outta their collective asses-QUICK! or we are all done for. However, I still count my blessings and wish all the best to you folks that are in dire straits with no pensions, etc. The best of luck to you all!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Connecticut is in so much trouble, that is what you get when Republitards run the state, they run it into the ground like texas, oklahoma, south carolina, florida and other jesus fkr states that are filled with losers.

ReplyDeleteWhat a miserable heathen you are! But then I never met one that was more than a click above morose.
That's the spirit! Just keep singing that song it will get you where you're going.
We'll always have California.
My wife had just enough to buy diapers and enough milk for the next four days. I have two young ones and my wife and I can't get any work. I have sat here for two weeks waiting for the phone to ring. The air conditioner barely works. The tv hasn't been off in days. I could scream for a beer and macaroni is sticking in my gut. I have four shotgun shells left on the shelf by the door and I keep looking at them and wondering what to do, but everytime I look my head kind of rocks and goes down to my chest. I'm not a tearful man but I swear if I can't find some work soon I will start. When the milk is gone and the baby starts squalling again I just hope I don't think of those four shotgun shells.
ReplyDelete1215 thanks for that, it is nice coming from a war mongering hypocrite.

ReplyDelete"people that believe in religion are ignorant. No proof exists that you can see, feel, touch, taste or hear, yet they blindly believe in bullshit, it is rather comical."
ReplyDeleteWhat is religious and what is comical and ignorant ?
The religios belief that nothing is real , the denial of the material universe itself as real unless it exists because it is created by the mind of god –the great spririt idea /God ?.
Another religious viewpoint , divorces and denies social human knowledge as a reflection of the objective real world and social experience.
All that exists is the great spirit –me!
And the comical pretence that this knowledge of my ‘inner self” and the world is all in the mind of the individual -"rationally" - while denying any real input jfrom the individuals senses or that of other individuals from the real world .
This is the old philosophy/ logic of Bishop Berkley that sensory input were non existant and meaningless .The religious philosaphy of 'subjective idealism"that everrything was just ideas of god.
Even a dogs senses reflect the real world sufficient for its life without any confusion from supposedly rational logic of the spirit, ideas that there is no sensory input and objectic truth is therefore unknowable.
Your anti- rational, comical form of logic , the ‘experience ‘ of the mind separated from the real human world by denying the truth of real sensory input as a guide to thinking and action , or practice , is religious –and dumber than a dogs outlook and life practice.
The dog ,doesn’t bother itself with these fancy idea of the spirit and logical games of the mind that is more important than the practice of its everyday life –the dog and his senses get by without religion but not without its sensory input.
The dog doesn’t accuse other dogs of being stupid because they are religios.
Your Religion of the mind/self where the great spirit or an individuals own mind is considered primary over a real world with a history of development and evolution ,including evolution of mans ability to think abstractly in human language concepts and develop theories based on logical rules even before you were born does that to thinking that denies its humanity in favor of the isolated individual , as master of all it can comicalyand arrogantly think.
That other humans are a product of your ideas.

ReplyDeleteConnecticut is run by Liberals. Like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Michigan, the states that were the first to fall and have been deceased for quite some time.
There is a silly show that airs posing as a documentary about a Massachusetts hospital and how great it is. These clowns use Universal Healthcare and have the worst medical system in the country (right now). Such convincing propaganda - all illusory, yet the producers can give it whatever image they want and people will absorb it without questioning to investigate any possibility of a spurious nature.
I'm not Republican, it's all trash, but your attachment to such false notions is truculent behavior. Why do you Liberals insist on maintaining such obsequious dispositions which have such an obviated absence of any degree of evidence at all? Truncate that last part, facts are in a contrary direction.
You're like children who would rather get beat over and over rather than just abstain from thievery.
