    Sad but true. Cuomo mentioned that he needs more bailout money to make up the state’s indebtedness.   NY’s situation, like my state, CT was bad before covid-19 hit.  The states in the Northeast were big tax and spend states and did not fund the teachers or civil servants pensions.  Now they want to hold the Federal government hostage to send more aid for their malinvestment and bail them out. Nope.  Let my state fail, we will hopefully look to the better run states and adopt their policies.

      Well said.

      I okay, as one can be, in paying taxes, as long as it goes towards schools, roads, water, etc.
      But our schools (nationally) should be top ranked in the world and they are not. Our roads are, meh, at best, and our water system ranges greatly, but more on the lower end.

      Yeah, this is not the time to use a crisis to bailout those who could not, or would not do what was necessary.
      I dont want my tax dollars going towards these failed states.
