New York’s progressives will send us back to 70’s financial ruin at this rate

[Madmallard]

In his 1980 classic, “The Cost of Good Intentions,” author Charles Morris chronicled how New York liberals spent the city into disaster. Free housing, college tuition, health care and welfare skyrocketed until a fiscal crisis ended the binge. As the city nearly went bankrupt, crime soared and families and businesses fled.

Liberals have been replaced by progressives but no matter what they call themselves, a new generation of New York pols are ignoring history as they tax and spend at astronomical levels.

This time, there isn’t any excuse about good intentions. Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo both want to be president, and they are recklessly turning New York into a leftist lab experiment to get national attention for themselves. Their party controls both the City Council and the state Legislature.

The result is a slow-motion disaster, with years of excessive tax and fee hikes making the city and many suburbs prohibitively expensive to govern and unaffordable for residents and employers.

P-L-E-A-S-E get this moving faster, the faster this state tanks, the faster we can start the process all over again.

Only good thing about Dems currently having full control of state gov’t. They are racing to the bottom. The abortion thing has already blown up in their faces.

Very scary future for NY. Those of us that really cannot leave for a few years, sucks bad for us. The NYC population and their form of Politics is killing the entire State. Yep, I put the bulk of the blame downstate.

I think the longer some of these people live in the City, the stupider they all become. If it were not for the cesspool they call NYC, this State would be doing fantastic.

The time has come to either get rid of these NYC losers or split this once great State into tow separate entities. We in the rest of the State want nothing, NOTHING to do with the likes of the downstate region. Different people, different mindsets, different politics; different everything.

I look forward to a REAL Governor, of the Republican kind! Sad though, because a republican in this state will never lean far right enough to our liking. Think of any of the (real) past Republican candidates, and they were only mildly leaning right.
But as history repeats itself NY'rs (Southerners) will tire easily to the Republican in office and doom the state once again.
It will be nice to read about all of it... from another State.

not all of us can just up and move, so we are left with praying the implosion occurs before the entire state goes down the tubes. personally, I think we should accelerate the process by charging NYC what they should pay for water and electricity, to start.

Very similar to the way the area of LA and environs has sucked the Southwest dry of water and electricity. And all they export are plague-ridden Crazyfonians to infect nearby states.

I even remember when Oregon and Washington state were considerably conservative. Now, they're loonier than Crazifornia, if that's possible.

I'm just biding my time until my son is out on his own before I can move to another state until then I will happily watch the shitshow crash and burn and enjoy every failure they make because my future aint gonna be here!

NY is kinda like the out house we had when we bought a camp, full of shit and old and broken down. It was much easier to tear it down and build another then to try to repair it!

In this Green plan, NY'rs will depend on Electricity, something that already is sky high in cost. What does she think these electric companies use to make it? Coal is as bad as gasoline burning engines, and gas will increase the cost dramatically.

I know I couldn't afford a double bill, if I have to charge every vehicle I own. Of course we all would have to buy these vehicles. No more 4-wheelers and snowmobiles for the middle class. I don't have faith an electric truck would do well plowing.
She's on fucking drugs. Luckily she is trying to piss off FUAC (or Andy as I like to call him, since he hates it), and that can only end badly for her. Or will it? The recent probe about her boyfriend being paid from her campaign money wasn't just a coincidence. If you ask to be noticed, you will in NY. Trust me.

I'm 99.9% sure .. a bill from some Drat in NYC is trying to end hunting Yotes contests and such ..
