Any middle class, non-union folks out there who voted for Democrats?

And the deficit does NOT include our unfunded liabilities for healthcare and retirement benefits for municipal unions, for which CT has the 5th highest debt in the nation (measured again as dollars per citizen). And the Dems have been in charge forever.

SO the Dems have taxed us to death, yet managed to spend much more. They're like an NBA superstar who makes $15 mill a year, yet goes bankrupt...that's how fiscally irresponsible the Dems have been.

And on Tuesday, we elected even more of them.

WHY? How can any sane person conculde that raising taxes and spending more, is the way to correct this? What evidence exists to suggest that crazy spending is the way to get out of debt? Please share with me...

With the number of gov. workers and ex-gov workers it's no wonder the Dems keep getting elected. It's only going to get worse with the huge growth in public sector jobs. The public union #'s now are greater then the private union #'s. This is scary stuff. When you employ the people that vote for you istead of the voters employing the people that run for office, the whole system is upside down.
