Maryland Gov Wes Moore blames his shortcomings on past administration

Al Ritter


Gov Wes Moore is touted by the Democratic Party as new rising star, but is he? When past Republican Governor Larry Hogan took office he was left with a $5 Billion dollar deficit from Gov O’Malley, but quickly turned that into a 5 billion dollar surplus by the time he left office.

With merely two years into what will hopefully be his only term Moore introduced his budget for the coming year, he has not only blown through the $5 Billion budget surplus but has subjected the citizens of this state to unbridled spending of $67.3 Billion in the upcoming year.

Some of his pet projects include spending money on MDOT for new Metro trains that are already being under-utilized. Doubling down on a failing education system is another one example of throwing money at a problem hoping for it to go away rather than actually fixing the problems.

You would think that with his banking background he would have a firmer grasp on the idea of tax and spend is not the way to prosperity.

If this is the future of the Democratic Party I feel sorry for this country.

In his address he also fraudulently claimed this:

“We did not create this fiscal crisis, but we are determined to fix it,” Gov. Moore said.

Reminds me of the meteoric rise of a certain senator from Illinois that started the degradation of our country
