How many times have you been proud of your state?

I'm sure we disagree yet again.

Economically speaking, Texas has lower taxes, lower debt, lower cost of living, less expensive public universities.

CT is doomed. The liberals that run this stare (and have been running it as long as I have been alive) have driven us to bankruptcy. We can never, ever, ever pay down the debt, thanks to pensions and cadillac health plans promised to labor unions.

Oh wait...we have a 9-mile busway from New Britain to Hartford, which only cost $550 million. For a bus that 40 people will ride every day. That'll save us!

I'm doing fine, by the way, the liberals aren't crippling me personaly. But I like to consider the welfare of everyone, and this state is simply doomed.

What about that can you disagree with? CT is a beautiful place, and conveniently located. But it's a perfect experiment in what 50 years of unchecked liberalism gets you, and what it gets you is bankruptcy. A wise person once said that the probnlem with socialism, is that eventually, you run out of other people's money.
