Really


Even better..the deadline to spend or return passed. We had to beg trump to extend it, or it would have been 1.7 billion LOST.

please tell me, how can a city like NO fail to spend 1.7 BILLION? Let that sink in

Too fricking lazy to do the paperwork involved or a lack of avenues to enrich themselves and their cronies through that spending, I’d guess.

$110 million cash hole created in July when Moreno backed away from a plan to sell city bonds amid pushback from state officials.


Well starting that pissing match with the state sure is working out well for them.

Exactly - the United States ran out of money a loooong time ago

The national debt is what $37 trillion

Annual fed revenue is around $5 trillion and we now spend $7+ trillion annually

New Orleans and Louisiana has so much potential but our “leaders” are such corrupt assholes that nothing great is ever realized.

The elected representatives of New Orleans is solely responsible for this. Not the governor. This didnt happen because of this one issue.

Wanna guess how it came to this? In the famous words of Barack Hussein Obama:

"Elections have consequences."

Here is the FO stage.

I don't know much about this issue at all, but if NOLA issues bonds, is the state somehow required to back them? If not, what's the problem w/ NOLA issuing them?

For clarity's sake, in no way shape or form do I believe NOLA's government is fiscally responsible. I'm just curious about who would get crushed if NOLA defaulted on the debt.

Who in the world would ever buy bonds from nola?


They’d get wrapped up in a municipal bond fund. Like they did with all those toxic mortgage notes pre 2008.

I guess this is “finding out?”

quote:

Louisiana Legislative Auditor Mike Waguespack, who has advised the city on shoring up its finances since last year, said that he supports the administration’s plan. “It'll be all eyes on cashflow weekly, but at the end of the day I think they'll be fine and be a better run city as a result of going through this process,” said Waguespack.



The city is a mess, like it’s always been. It’s also one of the world’s great places. There’s nothing conservative about cheering its demise or failing to value its historical, cultural, and economic importance.

Luckily, there’s reason to be optimistic about the new mayor. Glad they found a rich lady who seems reasonable because it’s a terrible job for so many reasons (hence why it has been filled with such losers in the past).
