You having syphilis would have people talking. But do you really see that as a good thing?

You are the type of moron who, when shown how an action meant to improve a situation actually made it worse, would justify it by saying "well we had to do SOMETHING".

You just doubled down on stupid.

Neat. Thanks, Eric. Maybe stop being such a corrupt POS? LINK

Also, what does that have to do with my point, that in no way does Albany subsidize NYC when we know it's in fact the other way around (to the tune of about $21b this past year)?

NYC. They heavily subsidize the rest of the state, not the other way around.

This "bailout" was NYC getting more of their money back.

"Get people from the state at large to subsidize one specific city" is not a solution.

Can you imagine living in rural new york and having to pay extra so the largest shithole city can implement communist policies?

Easy strategy:

Promise everything to losers.
Blame Trump and capitalism when it doesn't work.

You'll be a Democrat hero if you do these 2 things and nothing else.

I have not read the budget for the City of New York.

No worries. Agreed.

Personally, I don’t like Mamdani, and I think he could be bad news for the city, but I’m not going to cry about the city getting back more of the money that its paid the state.

......And just wait until a few more companies leave and further shrink their tax base.

Well said, and I pretty much agree. I'm not a NYer so I don't really care about anything this granular, but it's naive to think what happens there (good or bad) couldn't potentially impact future politics in other places.

These idiots have no idea of how finance works and assume this commie just made the deficit disappear on his own.

1. Didn't Kathy Hochul lend @ $8B in assistance?
2. Mandami pulled old budget acuels se aside totaling @ $1B
3. Mandami restructured pensions and debt payments over a longer period.

I know I'm missing things, but Jesus, these dolts are buying in without research.
