Malloy has a great economic idea. Any company that will move here with 200+ employees or stays put by blackmailing to pull 200+ employees gets a huge grant from the state.

UBS finds it is cheaper in NY, threatens to pull 2,000 job so they get $20,000,000.

Starwood Hotels comes here from White Plains, NY with 800 employees they get $40,000,0000

Sikorsky got the bright idea to threaten

Waste Management puts 400 jobs here and gets millions along with General Dynamics.

Who pays????????? There really is no trickle down here. Gov't Dispursement! Well Deb Heinrich is his small business advisor. That says it all.

And the city you are seeing as the promised land (Charlotte) would be a ghost town if it didn't get BILLONS in tax payer money. 50.2 BILLION directly given to them, and 118 BILLION in guarantees. If you can't make the quantum leap from 20 million to 50 billion, you should toss your Masters degree in the pail.

I don't disagree this smacks of crony capitalism in some cases but I'm just not following your logic.

Wasn't the Starwood deal signed last year?

Yes it was, (Thanks Jodi - don't miss you at all!) and that whole thing IMHO was a friggin boondoggle. All we did was pay their rent for the next 5 years or whatever. No one is going to relocate from Westchester to CT because the company moved 20 miles Northeast.

Fred Flintstone is the new Robert Barro of economics. He installs granite by day and teaches economics at NYU at night.

That was written and it was in the WSJ. I know most of CT only reads the NYT. The editorial of the WSJ loves knocking Malloy as the fiscal economic idiot of all 50 govs.

[gilfman]

Imagine if all these bloggers actually worked. CT's economic output would be like CHINA.

Fred Flintstone.......thats a good one.

Also forgot CT hired KS HUD man to be head of Human Services. His budget is like ten times in CT. Why? Seiblus is Obama's lady and she is from KS.

CRONISM!!!! Don't knock others Fred.

Liberal politics at work. Just use tax money in a way that makes things look better than they are. Just another turn around the vortex on the way down the drain.

RIGHT!

No It is YABADABADOOO-ONOMICS!
New class offered by London School of Economics, University of Chicago and Wharton by a visiting prof.

they said that the democrats have been in power for years now in CT. Maybe that's why the economy is so bad... I've heard the same in states like NC too. They got taxes on everything.. but at least the property taxes are sure cheaper down south.

Now what is the WSJ? Oh, the wall street journal?
