A waste of money? Noooo ...
Bloomberg is making a direct monetary contribution to the 'communist'
Chinese state treasury. Maybe he is lobbying the Chinese government
for a favor or position of power? |

Gail K. Shuler M.D. would take away everything from the poor and give it to the
neocons.

Gov. Paterson’s Budget Emergency
Across the country, states are slashing their budgets as tax revenues
dwindle. New York, with its heavy dependence on Wall Street, is far
from immune to the nation’s economic slide, as Gov. David Paterson
this week made abundantly clear.
The governor warned this week that New York’s financial situation has
eroded rapidly, largely because of a “mammoth collapse” in revenues
from the financial sector. He is predicting a state deficit of $6.4
billion this fiscal year alone.
He is doing the right thing by starting now to cut his share of the
$121 billion state budget and by calling the Legislature back into
special session on Aug. 19. Cutting the budget is never easy,
especially in an election year. Already the special interests, the
ones that fund campaigns, are lined up to defend their shares.
Since Governor Paterson has not yet given a clear road map of where he
wants to cut spending and raise revenues, here are our suggestions:
• New York’s budget has traditionally hidden hundreds of millions of
dollars in slush funds, money that legislators and the governor hand
out to their communities. These secret pools are the place to start.
• Sharing the pain, as the governor promises, should not mean forcing
the poor to make most of the sacrifices. Cuts in funds for schools and
health care should only take away the extras that special interests
have added, not crucial services.
• Governor Paterson said that he is considering raising money through
private-public partnerships involving the leasing of state assets. He
should tread carefully there. Unloading public assets can too easily
be the sort of one-time budget gimmick that does little long-term
good.
• New taxes have to be on the table, if only as a last resort, but any
changes in the tax code must be fair. Governor Paterson has already
endorsed a property-tax cap that helps the suburbs and upstate but
threatens cities. A temporary tax surcharge on wealthy New Yorkers
makes sense, but it should not drive too much revenue away or allow
the Legislature to keep wasting funds.
Governor Paterson has promised to consult with legislators and “those
affected” before his final proposals on where to cut funds. It is a
very collegial plan, but if the new governor really wants to put the
state’s fiscal house in order, he is going to have to get a lot
tougher with his old friends in Albany.

Oh no most mentally ill people know that no one cares. Gail K Shuler is a
special case though. |
