From the Can't Make This Up Dept: Dave Walker Wonders Why Highway Funds Are Scarce :(

Dave Walker ‏@DeficitRanger 41m Lanes are locked off on I-95 between New Haven and Bridgeport and no one is working! It's time to fire #Malloy and #DOT officials. DW

Luddites! Maybe someday he'll also get around to wondering why state spending for education is also stagnating ... (but don't hold your breath waiting).

After that? Perhaps his adult kids will wonder why we ran out of fiat, and his grandchildren may even ask why THEY ran out of options.

  BMHOTK!

Again, don't hold your breath waiting. Better get around to considering more options than listening to the Luddite-in-Chief.

Alternatively, maybe we will revert to a Planet of the Apes, populated by FiatDeficitRangers keeping a lid on human fiat. We could achieve a Planet of the Luddites, where every nation's Public Initiative is a flat line, i.e., "balanced."
