Cuomo says Trump is punishing New York for being too blue

ALBANY, N.Y. (WBEN/AP) — New York’s governor says he believes President Donald Trump is punishing his home state for being too liberal.In the past few weeks, New York has come out on the losing end on a series of federal acts.Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security barred New...

My only disappointment in Trump is that he has not bagged and tagged Andy or his NY cronies for corruption.

Cuomo wants several billion dollars for a sea wall and $3 billion in “federal funding for a subway expansion project”....
Why should the entire country be responsible for New York City’s subway?

But, if there is several billion dollars worth of federal funding to be had... I have great news!

I just found the money to finish the southern border wall! :rock:

The state and city government has continually sued, harassed, and smeared the President. Now they're complaining that he won't bend over backward to help them? Hey you dickless NY politicians maybe we could try a new approach to funding state and city projects. Like have a budget and stay within its parameters dumbasses!

They'll never let NYC go under water. NYC is concentrated power. If you let people disperse over a larger area, it's harder to have a stranglehold on the state from a voting perspective. It's much harder to rent control the entire state than it is a building, to keep low income liberal voters on the dole.

I realized that when congress passed their new tax plan. We got fucked with the 10k cap on salt tax write offs But TBH New York deserved it. The federal government shouldn’t subsidize our high taxes. I hope Trump gets re-elected and goes after Coumo.

Agree. It really fucked a lot of blue states. It won't ever come back because it will be seen as giving money to the wealthy.

It was subsidizing us, but on the other hand blue, high tax states also disproportionately contribute federal--even with the salt cap. The poorer red states do not pay the same amount per person because their economies tend to be weaker with less per capita income.

It's somewhat worth it if it hurts cuomo.

NYC isn't going under water because the whole 'oceans rising' nonsense is bullshit.

Even if true, if an inch change in water level is enough to flood you out, you planned poorly.

You are right. But this is the same argument the left uses for abolishing the electoral college. I hate that I’m paying more taxes. We already pay mire taxes than anywhere else in the nation. But I want Trump to keep fucking with money face. Now let’s just hope that SCOTUS rules in favor of NYSRPA and we can begin dismantling the outrageous gun restrictions in this state.

Cuomo takes radical stands against the administration and federal laws and then it expects the federal government to favor him? How stupid can one be?
NY is punishing the working class and taxpayes because he is too darn liberal and why those folks are leaving the state.
Bitch all you want.

I don't get the entire liberal progressive mindset that thinks just because you are, that all should bent to your light...

That somehow the Federal Gov't owe the States anything, when the States want to maintain their sovereignty! Is doesn't work that way! You give, you get! You fight, then don't cry when you're the one bloodied! Want to meddle in National affairs when you can't manage your own house? Then make sure you can carry the weight of the consequences of your decisions.

Cuomo is definitely shit scared of Trump's possible re-election! He should be!

Geometric center of a hostile state.
Lest we forget FUAC's blatent waste of our (New York State's) money and resources buying votes in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the budget shortfalls NYS is currently experiencing...

How much did NY spend to aid Puerto Rico? Cuomo administration won't say

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says federal government will reimburse NY for most expenses related to the state's emergency aid to Puerto Rico.
