Rick Scott (FL senator) has a very insightful editorial today on NYS’ woes

“The result: Cuomo is now facing a massive shortfall in revenue. Because he didn’t plan for emergencies and use state tax dollars wisely, he wants to put every American on the hook, including those who fled his state, to bail him out. Other states like New Jersey, Illinois and California are doing the same thing.”

Responsible budgeting is hard work. To pay down debt and maintain an emergency fund, you have to make tough choices. When I was governor, I paid down one-third of our state debt and helped Florida achieve the best credit rating possible, and I did it with a budget half the size of Cuomo’s, even though I had 2 million more people to serve.

Good.

The quicker the China Virus runs its course, the better.

We should have been doing the same thing here. We've known since April that the China Virus wasn't going to overwhelm our health care system, but our asshole governor decided to keep his knee on the neck of NY's economy anyway.

If you don't throw their rhetoric back at them, people might start to take it seriously.

Anyway, Reverend Al already started using "knee on the neck" metaphorically, so its fair game now.

The number of "new" cases in its self doesn't matter. They're doing more testing so they will find new cases. The number of new cases aren't close to overtaxing the healthcare system. Florida has reopened their economy. At least for now, they're in the clear.

The Post hates Cuomo. It's the NY Daily News that's in the Democrats' pocket.
