In a huge boost to the campaign of Democrat Dannel Malloy, all six affiliates of the Service Employees International Union have endorsed his candidacy for governor. Ned Lamont Is Hopelessly Inexperienced And Naive Just Like His Great Grand-Father Thomas Lamont (greenwichroundup.blogspot)
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"
Let's Not Get Fooled Again.....
Ned Lamont Is The Most Naive Gubernatorial Candidate
Ned Lamont recently said, "We haven't earned the right to raise anybody's taxes,"
Then Ned Lamont turns around and declares that this should not be considered a "read my lips" pledge against raising taxes.
That is, Ned Lamont will raise taxes even if he doesn't earn the right to.
Lamont declares that he wants to "show taxpayers that we'll fundamentally reform government," and he identifies three huge areas of state spending that are ripe for review — medical care, payroll, and retirement benefits.
But any fool can try to get more Medicaid money out of the federal government; promising to prune "top-heavy management" is just pandering to the state employee unions and won't save much money because so few state employees are managers, nearly all being unionized,
Basically Lamont offers no ideas for curbing state government's pension obligations.
Often Ned Lamont notes, "fundamental reform" won't pay off right away, won't be arranged in the month the new governor has before his first budget is due to the General Assembly.
Ned Lamont can't deliver "fundamental reform" because he has no clue what it is.
Mr. Lamont's main idea for confronting the state budget gap of about $4 billion, a revenue shortage of as much as 20%, seems to be only to gather representatives of the most interested parties and have cordial negotiations.
