I wonder how the idiots on charge of NY will explain it next year when the deficit is back over $1 billion? They'll just ask for more money. There won't be any investigation into where the bailout money was spent. These idiots refuse to acknowledge that their leadership and stupid ideas/laws are the reason for a ballooning deficit.

They are *trying* to collapse the economy.

So that they can declare "capitalism has failed" and implement their totalitarian wish list under the guise of "socialism".

Not sure how I feel about this. Personally, I don't think it's the responsibility of other states to bail the bad management of this state out. They fucked up. As much as I'm happy taxes aren't going up, this feels like unwarranted theft. This feels like a reward for bad behavior of the leadership of NYS.

If it deflects ANY heat off of Cuomo, it’s no good. He Will take credit for this of course.
