The state IS in fiscal chaos. We have a special election May 19, 2009. The election was called by the Legislature to approve their alleged financial cure. Apparently, the electorate is so angry that the measures are all failing.(The legislature tried to sneak in an additional tax increase.)If the measures fail the common wisdom is that the state will go bankrupt.

The polls indicate that only a small percentage of the population approve the job the legislature is doing. Those polled were Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Liberals, Conservatives etc. It is a mess!

A friend of mine since childhood lives there, and life has been very hard for her lately. She has lost just about everything in the mess: her job, went though a divorce (her husband was angry because she couldn’t get another job right away), her replacement job that barely paid enough, and now her house.

She takes care of her elderly mother and a teenage child from a previous marriage, and they don’t have anywhere to go. They might even end up coming out here to NY to live with me, although I must say that things aren’t that much better for me either.

This is what the lesser of two evils has gotten us, and in some cases the aboslute evil. Government spending at the levels it has been at helps absolutely nothing, ever. It makes casualties out of the successful and takes us down the road to financial ruin.

Moderates can just go packing as far as I’m concerned, and what happens to them afterward I hope is far worse than what we average kinds of people are going through.
