He just doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Jim’s home state which he deplores as a #^&#^&#^&#^&hole has a reserve fund 2.5 x the national average and an educational system second only to MA. Do you know one of the big reasons people are moving to Florida? Retirees who don’t want city living are heading there and their families are following them to stay close. Many blue states are seeing a lot of movement inward also.

I seriously don’t believe for one second he’s an actuarial.

(1) explain to us how i’m wrong, when i say that 9.1% inflation doesn’t make
most americans poorer, in terms of purchasing power

(2) any measure of CT’s economic health that excludes our long term debt ( tens of thousands of dollars for every human being in the state) is like judging the maiden voyage of the a titanic and excluding the iceberg.

make that wrong.

here, the Yankee institute estimates that CTs unfunded debt is $62,500 for every taxpayer. Meaning, to fund the debt, a family of 4 must pay the state $250,000, in addition to our current taxes.

Tell me how that’s not indicative of a horribly, horribly run state.

High taxes are bad. Massive debt is bad. Having both at the same
time, is next- generation incompetence.

Why are those retirees moving to FL in big numbers? Why not to southern CA?

“actuarial” is an adjective. I’m an actuary.


you sure got me on the ropes.
