Their Worst Fears Are Vermont's Realities

There are a lot of reasons why people don't like one Presidential candidate or the other. Most of the reasons are based on policy preferences. However, there are a few people out there, (could some have lived in Vermont?) who correctly understand the bigger threat. Charlie Foxtrot writes:

"So if you think that Hillary as a tough talking, uncompromising wartime president is acceptable, than you had better be ready to accept all the liberal and leftist activists who are going to take over leadership positions in Justice, Education, Immigration and Customs Enforcement , HHS, EPA, OMB, DHS, Defense, CIA, etc...."

Indeed. Liberal and leftist activists taking over leadership positions is our reality. James Dwinell writes:

"In Vermont it is not just that the Democrats believe that the government is the answer, it further has created and promoted institutions for the people who are the un-enablers."

Exactly, and these institutions are managed and staffed by professional un-enablers who "stop needed community projects just because they can." Our policies aren't so much of our problem... it's the way the policies are implemented. This is no conjecture, just ask Vermont business people themselves. The Dean administration did and they said:

“There is a sense among business people that Vermonters view business growth as a threat to their quality of life.This mindset underlies the obstructionism and capriciousness associated with the permitting process and regulatory establishment.”

The real problem is there is no common sense in our laws, nor the spawn of our laws the rules, regulations policies and procedures that agencies, boards, commissions, etc. have enacted over the years. It is that mess that needs cleaning up. We need to return common sense to the law and it is going to take an uncommon candidate with common sense to do it.

The Brigham court would have to go and then you'd have to eliminate every single state agency/commission in one fell swoop. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Another threat leaves Vermont. Clear Source bottled water closes it's doors in Randolph. They were kind enough to give there 75 employees the phone number for the unemployment office.
