Is the NH Economy So Good That We Can Afford To Grow State Government by 16%?

NH Democrats cram 16% increases in budget down taxpayers throats

I know what you were thinking while you were paying almost four dollars a gallon for gas, or looking at your utility or cable bill, or thinking about how much more it costs to do the grocery shopping these days.  You were thinking, “Hey, times are so good, lets grow the size of the state government by 16%!”

You must have said that because someone in Concord seems to think they heard you say it.

What?  You weren’t thinking that?  Well you’d best get in touch with your legislator and tell them because the Democrat majority House is preparing to vote on a budget that will make your state government cost you 16% more.

We have never lived in a “Constitutional Republic”.

N.H. House Rep. David B. Karrick, (D) Merrimack Dist. 25, Warner

These very words were not spoken…but put in writing on during an email exchange between house reps. Representative David B. Karrick, DemocRAT, Merrimack District 25, Warner stated in the Palm Sunday email:

“We have never lived in a “Constitutional Republic“. Our founders created a Republic where the rights and privileges of the propertied citizens were greater than those without advantages or personal freedom.”-Rep David B. Karrick

During the founding years our forefathers ascribed to the notion

NH House Votes to Prohibit Indefinite Detention in the Granite State

Indefinite detention - NH House votes against itHB 399, the New Hampshire Liberty Act, passed the NH House by a vote of 337-15.

Talk about bi-partisan support!  And yes, I am enthusiastic about that.  Back on February 18th, I challeneged New Hampshire Democrats to show us what they were made of when it came to the Federal Government, under the guidance of Mr. Obama,  giving itself the right to detain people indefinitely and they have spoken.

Dan Itse’s bill would make it a crime for anyone to aid or abet indefinite detention in the Granite State without due process and the Democrat majority House stood up to support that.

Now maybe it’s a no-brainer vote.  Perhaps it’s an easy one-off, a gimme.  Heck, Democrats voted to nullify National ID back in the day.  How hard could this be to support?

Well if it that were true why did 15 New Hampshire reps still vote against it (including one Republican)?

AFP-NH Says Hassan’s Budget is “Counterproductive to Job Creation and Economic Growth.”

AFP Logo

AFP-NH’s Greg Moore observed recently that NH Governor Maggie Hassan’s Budget is bad for growth and and burdens small businesses.

Hassan spokesman Marc Goldberg responded, “The governor’s balanced budget proposal begins restoring critical investments in the priorities needed to create good jobs and build a more innovative economic future, such as higher education, economic development, mental health and public safety.

So if we dump more taxpayer money into a University system that, according to Democrats, consistently creates graduates who then leave the state–no matter how much money they spent on the university system, spend more money on the idea that the government taking more money from business owners knows best how to attract and grow business, and add more cops and state-payroll therapists, the Granite State will leap forward from the dark ages of the Republican Majority.

All this does is add state employees, state payroll, dues paying union members, and expands the budget.  Maybe they are great jobs “for favoring elected Democrats” but it’s our money.

By Whichever Ways And Means Make It Possible

From Ed Naile at NH Insider…

The Republican War on Women campaign was a secret code phrase for: women get to pay more for gas – especially those single moms who like big government.

For you single mom’s out there (Ed’s title was ‘Single Mom’s Love the Gas Tax’),  or any women at all, or even women who were not born women but feel like a woman, after getting slapped across the face with the Obama middle class tax increase at the beginning of the year, papa gubmint now wants to chew on a little more of your weekly revenue here in New Hampshire, with an 83% hike in the gas tax.

Welcome to the 83%…

Don’t worry.  You can probably exchange your gas receipts for some free birth control and a download of all the Obama’s Speeches.

The Democrats’ Gun Control Racism

Star Parker: “Taking guns from the law-abiding many puts too much power in the hands of an ill-intentioned few.” Democrats seem to fear and hate the individual right to self-defense, always supporting so-called “gun control.” Historically, it was Democrats who imposed “gun control” in the post-Civil War South to disarm blacks in the face of Jim … Read more

Ruth Gulick – A Belknap County Democrat Morality Tale

Once Upon A Time

Democrats say the darnedest things.  Take NH House Rep Ruth Gulick (D- Aesop’s Fables), whom Skip recorded at a recent Belknap county budget meeting.  Ruth shared a little morality tale with those present, with regard to budgets and responsibility.

In Ruth’s version the county taxpayers have a moral responsibility to the employees whom they pay.  That responsibility includes ensuring that the employees continue to enjoy the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed, regardless of any other circumstances.  Put simply; she objects to taxpayers (or any of their elected representatives) asking those employees to pay more for their own benefits.

Not a surprise coming from a Democrat, until you hear how she went about it.

Not Castration, Sequestration.

Castration? You would think so to hear the rhetoric and demagoguery, but no. (Did you happen to notice ‘Dem’ at the beginning of Demagoguery?)  Uh-huh, It’s true.

Give back a few pennies on the dollar and the Left insists the world could end. Sounds like lousy management to me. Well, OK

But why is the Federal Government still hiring people for these job

About That Media Bias We Hear About (and) A Bit of Odebacle Reminiscing.

Debra Heine, at Breitbart, has a P.I.’s  peep shot of the wife-beater wearing Obama Administration and its abusive relationship with the media.

She makes note of how reporters are treated if they say anything the boss in the Big House doesn’t like.  But every time the new media or the so-called swing voters ask, like the beat-cop responding to neighbors calling about another fight next door, the so-called watchdog media is heard to say… ‘But I can’t leave him.   He loves me. I, uh… just fell down the stairs (click, click, click, as threatening emails from White House Staffers are erased).

Question For Conservatives: Why Are Your Children Still In Public School? David Groessh, PatriotUpdate.com, posted this question on Wednesday.  I read it early this morning and thought gee, he’s right.  He says in his opening paragraph: ‘You would not let your little children play in a busy street, jump off the roof of a ten-story building, or … Read more

Where Ann “Onward” McKluster Pretends She’s Obama

Ann Kuster wasn’t around to vote for the sequestration, or any continuing resolutions, nor was she there to watch as Democrats refused to send a

budget to their Democrat president, but she already knows it’s not her fault.

Here’s most of the turd of an email she left in my in-box (I took out all the links and bold text formatting.)

Just 2 days to go until March Madness ensues. The annual ritual of congressional dysfunction is unfolding once again in Washington and Americans across the country are feeling the impact.

But this time, the wheels of the bus are falling off – cuts to transportation and infrastructure, to air travel security and aviation safety, to Head Start, homeland security, and the list goes on and on.

NH Bill to Nullify Indefinite Detention Passes Committee Vote 16-0

The Tenth Amendment Center Blog is reporting that Dan Itse’s HB 399 has come out of committee slightly amended–stricter than when it went in–and is heading to the House floor with a recommendation to pass. Rep. Dan Itse’s original bill provided for class A misdemeanor penalties on any state agent cooperating with indefinite detention. An amendment … Read more

Open Letter to Republican Members of the New Hampshire House

Emailed to the entire caucus, Wednesday Morning, 2-27-2013

Honorable Republican Representatives,


In the wake of the errant email in which NH Gas tax sponsor David Campbell (D-Nashua) reveals the true nature of his proposal, I wanted to take a moment to offer up some relevant observations.

Mr. Campbell remarked that his gas tax will provide a bounty (I’m paraphrasing) of revenue (taxation) for other purposes.  It matters not whether he was being glib or just honest.  The facts are these.

Smartest President Ever…Part 3

King of executive orders, master of spending and debt, willing to by-pass congress if he has too….but no power to decide what spending increases get cut from his own Sequester bill.

Democrats Always Lie About Taxes and Spending

Democrats lie about taxes, spending, and caring about the middle class, and two opportunities to prove that have recently NH Democrats fleece taxpayers againpresented themselves.

First, Nashua Democrat David Campbell, from whose progressive womb sprang the 15 cent per gallon gas tax, recently remarked in an email to Democrat party leadership that the Democrat gas tax was…

…”the gift that keeps on giving”

…

“As my father used to say, ‘Don’t spend it all in one place!” Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, chairman of the House Public Works and Highways Committee, wrote on Friday in explaining that his gas tax hike bill will generate “bonus monies” for purposes not directly associated with highways, roads and bridges.

Not directly associated is right.

The gas tax will screw you, your family, your small business, and the entire  state economy out of millions more annually once fully implemented, money that will not go to wages, jobs, or anything but the Democrats government-first addiction.

What are those definitions again, Democrats?

Will Beretta Leave Maryland?

Moving costs money but the owners of Beretta are thinking it might be time.Beretta-Px4-Storm

Beretta is weighing whether the rifle line (which would now be illegal if proposed legislation becomes law), and perhaps the company itself, should stay in a place increasingly hostile toward its products. Its iconic 9mm pistol — carried by every U.S. soldier and scores of police departments — would also be banned with its high capacity, 13-bullet magazine.

“Why expand in a place where the people who built the gun couldn’t buy it?” said Jeffrey Reh, general counsel for Beretta.

It looks like Beretta already moved part of their business out of Maryland after a previous game of chicken with state lawmakers, one the legislature and Governor lost.

Report Claims: Manchester NH one of Ten Least Taxed Cities in US

There is a good deal of couched language in this article, but a few things stand out. According to Edward Wyatt, fiscal analyst for the Office of Revenue Analysis, while tax rates are certainly a factor in the tax burden on families, it is more the existence of certain kinds of taxes that determines whether … Read more
