Great big conspiracy!!

Hey I vote Republican to try and keep govt small. How does that work out here though.
Blame the politicians who will sell whatever the public at large will swallow. In the end mostly empty promises.

Also not sure how old you are, but my parents like many of the older generation lived very frugally. By today's standards they would be considered working poor. But they were happy and content working each 2 jobs......
Repubs believe in small govt yet govt spending keeps rising when they are in control? Oh right, military is not "govt spending". It is that fancy Medicare to blame. It is not conspiracy. It is fact that previous generations created wars, expanded military, homeland security, etc, blew up housing and student loan costs, then bailed out financial markets time again so Boomer asset holders could have great retirement. I am Gen X, 40s so no one cares about us.

I'm not sure what military spending or Medicare, which are federal issues, have to do with CT's state government.

Mike,

CT residents pay taxes to federal govt and get very little back compared to poorer states. Military contracts are a giant jobs program. I think you can figure out why it impacts state budgets and growth.

Great analysis by Bloomberg. Hope we get updates every year on this.

Something we should cut from our budget that doesn't help a single American and is an enormous waste is foreign aide. If Americans want to help people from other countries they can donate to charity. We need to stop being the worlds piggy bank.

I'd love to see the usual suspects on here try to spin this in a positive light for Connecticut.

We’ve discussed this before. Much of this is due to retiring people moving to warmer climates. If you look at the states losing people they mostly are affluent northern states. Florida is a big retirement state so of course it received the most. It does not mean the jobs have gone there. CBIA is hardly unbiased so their spin is hardly objective. Jay

Actually, FL is among the states with the highest job growth:

Based off that, I’d say that jobs are going there.

Connecticut has 6th highest outmigration rate in the country
Marc E. Fitch November 12, 2019
Newly released estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau shows Connecticut’s outmigration rate is worsening compared to the rest of the country.
Connecticut’s net loss of population ranks sixth in the county for 2018. Just one year ago, Connecticut’s outmigration rate was eighth highest.
That’s according to figures analyzed by Donald Klepper-Smith, chief economist for Data Core Partners LLC and former chief economic advisor for the state of Connecticut.
Although the outmigration rate remained relatively unchanged, Connecticut still slipped two spots as other states lost fewer people than in 2017. Smith estimates that Connecticut is losing 414 people per week.
And that’s a conservative estimate.

Good I hope we lose more. 414 per week only equals 21,528 per year. We need to increase that 5x to get to our 2,030,00 by 2030 population estimate. I know we can lose 1 million people in the next 10 years.


Lets brainstorm and - just do it -
