i lived in connecticut for the last two years. i grew up in connecticut. connecticut is having lot of trouble these days. connecticut is a state of small cities. i like small cities. i grew up in one. i think they are in many ways more livable and humane than the bigger cities. but major companies and the sort of young driven 20 somethings who they want to hire, don't necessarily want to live in small cities when there's a much bigger city available. so what is happening to connecticut cities especially have ones lucky enough to yale university has been a , kind of departure. this has happened to connecticut suburbs as well. for instance, the city of hartford was historically the insurance capital of the united states. it was where wallace stephen sold insurance and wrote poetry. it's a beautiful city with a beautiful art museum, literary tradition, sits on the river, and so on. but companies don't want to be based there anymore. recently, one of the last major insurance companies powering one of its innovation and young people and technology focused offic

i campaigned for the senate in connecticut in 2010 and 2012. and i toured small businesses all over the state of connecticut. what i heard from them is the same thing i am hearing today. access to capital. the regulatory environment. taxes. and health care. those are the things that, for businesses, especially already in place, those are the things that are being the most difficult still to deal with. entrepreneurs who want to start their businesses, which is one place where sba is right in the forefront of, to give advice, they need access to capital. you've got to have good capitalization to start a company. but what i have found at sba is that the general public, or small businesses at large, don't really know all the sba has to offer. yes, you think about loans. when you think about sba. we guarantee loans, we don't make the loans ourselves. and we help make loans available to those folks who would not be able to get them under ordinary circumstances by the guarantee that is put behind them. we have the opportunity to help entrepreneurs get

connecticut has seen this process before. it took almost a decade for the connecticut air national guard to be assigned the c-130 flying mission that was the outcome of the last brac round. to carry out this mission the connecticut air national guard began deploying in support of operations in the middle east this year. i know personally about that brac process. i was involved in the brac commission proceedings, and i was involved afterward in literally suing the secretary of defense to preserve the flying mission of our base at the air national guard in connecticut. closing that base to the air national guard, to the c-130 or other planes like it would have been a disgraceful outcome, and we succeeded in reaching al result through settlement that preserved it. the submarine capital of the world also known as the first and finest submarine base is in connecticut. the fate of that base, the naval submarine base of new london, was unnecessarily put in jeopardy in 2005 as it endured unnecessary questions over its viability and t

in people's property rights are still in danger in connecticut.so, that is a positive. i would argue, though, that there is a more insidious direct of property rights going on today even if eminent domain is less abused and not something we call regulatory taking when government comes in a regulate away our property rights saying we can't use our property or can't build additional structures can allow someone to stay overnight in our home for money like we would on airbnb or home away. these are regulations that take away our rights to use our property, but because we are not-- government is not coming in and taking title to the property, then they argue and are often times a successful that they ought not compensate us at all your queue have a situation where your property is worth less now. property value has dropped and you don't have the same rights you had before and yet you are stuck with a mortgage payment, still stuck with the taxes, still stuck with liability if someone comes on your property and falls and gets hurt and yet government has

ironically, connecticut where the said three took place in people's rights are still endangering connecticut. that is a positive. i would argue there is a moral ideas pro to property rights going on today, even if eminent domain is something we call regulatory thinking. this is the government comes in and regulate their property rights or we can build an additional structure that we can't allow someone to stay overnight in our homes for money like we were done ere bnp. these are regulations that take away her rights to sell her property that because we are not coming in and taking title ii the property, they are oftentimes successful in doing so that they ought not compensate at all. you've got a situation where your property is worth less now. property value has dropped. he done the same rights as before and you are still stuck with the mortgage payments become a separate taxes and liability if someone comes on your property and government has not paid the compensations. that's for the property right battles are today and that is where the goldwater institute is still fighting and why we wr

now, in connecticut, we have our own state based exchange. we couldn't make it work with the amount of money that we would get. it would fall apart but at least if we wanted to, we could put state dollars behind our existing exchange. in states that didn't set up a state-based exchange that rely on the federal exchange. if they want to continue subsidizing through the individual market, they would have to set up an exchange and simply could not do it because the only way we did it in connecticut was we were funded by the federal government in the first couple years to get it up and running. states that don't have those, largely red states couldn't do it on their own. so these subsides that people are getting in the red states would absolutely disappear. they are not coming back. and i think we have to be very clear about what that means in those states. >> just want to be clear so people track this. the subsides that exist in obamacare, they -- you only get them if you purchase on the exchange but if this were to happen, the laws of the state

in 1831, a quaker opened a private girls academy in canterbury, connecticut. it became one of the state's best schools and was intended to be for the town. in 1832, she transformed it into a school for african-american girls. despite protests and violence from the white townspeople, she continued until the legislature passed an 1833 black law, making it illegal to run a school teaching african-american students from a state other than connecticut. an angry mob attacked the school, which she closed to keep her students safe. he was thinking of that and other examples when he told her this is not going to work for you. she ignored him and continued on anyway. it seems that myrtilla did try to raise money or donations of books, but had such a hard time that it may have caused her to give up further its solicitations until she had proven herself. her friend, mrs. thomas, a member of the society of friends asked her to wait until she had more money. mrs. thomas gave her $100 and that is the money that she brought to washington d.c., in 1851 to open her school. now
