NYS was over $6 bill in the hole before WuFlu hit.

If you give Albany any money, you’d better plan on it going anywhere but where it was meant.

NY has a huge budget, huge income because they have among the highest taxes in the country...and they’ve squandered it on stupid programs and bureaucracy. Bailing them out means continuing this.

Shouldn't those choices be up to the people of NY?

If you want to complain about a bailout what about all those years NY paid more into the federal government than it got back?

Laying off first responders?!

These twice danged maniacs have laid off the people who PAY for the first responders.

Non-essential workers, my a$$.

They are vitally essential. States can’t print money.

Bailouts are no good here, especially not for socialist states like NYS.

Every report I’ve seen claiming NYS is a donor state uses the NY comptroller’s figures. I wouldn’t trust them.

Essential or not the last thing Trump wants is states adding to the unemployment rolls going into an election.

I don't think this one does.

Do you know the history behind that company?? I'd trust the NY Comptroller's numbers first. 😂

How about:

Which US States Get More Than They Give

Which States Are Givers and Which Are Takers?

How much money does your state receive from the federal government?

If you don't think these sources are trustworthy please provide one you think is.

Good. You can send a few thousand of your money to Michigan that’s still shut down through the summer. 😁
