"Sheldon Silver already supports taxing the "rich" (who may be defined
as people making $150K). With Senate Republicans non-players if the
Dems can get their act together, and Paterson going wobbly before
negotiations even start, it seems pretty clear that New York will
revert to form:
It's a state run by politicians that don't want to cross big unions,
who know how to manipulate public opinion and identify their sinecures
with the public interest. So, it's always easier to raise taxes, ignore
effects on the economy, make taxpayers who are already paying the most
in the nation pay even more for their mediocre schools and mediocre
health care system, and pretend that the protecters of the status quo
are "progressives" defending "working families."
"A government big enough to give you everything you want,
is big enough to take away everything you have"

It would appear that the Gov is just like all the other Govs we've had for the last generation. Taxes are the only thing he knows. I didn't want to believe it. I wanted to give him a chance, still do. But this is not looking good. He's caving, and it ain't even Christ...er, the Holidays.
We're screwed.
The "children" are screwed.
Happy teachers union.
I am still willing to give him a chance .....for awhile. He's not getting much help from the legislature. They won't consider spending cuts. No cooperation. He's having to do it all.
I hope you're right, 9:24, I truly hope you are right.
Not to be sarcastic, but how long is "awhile" to you?
I guess it doesn't matter. We're a one party state. So if/when the ship sinks, it will be a beautiful blue ship.
