The Economy shrinks but Government Bureaucrats never eat their own . . . they start coming after you and the way you live.
It won’t pass and the Truth about NY state and how they spend the money NOW . . . is hidden from view and replaced with “Pay to Live” for New Yorkers.
Govt. needs to shrink . . . its gonna be painfull pursuing these Tax increases.
Yes, it does.
But our failure to shrink government when we had the mandate to do so has serious ramifications, which I really haven't seen discussed here.
It's not clear to me now that the government CAN be shrunk, or even that its growth can be arrested, by electoral politics.
If a 49-state Reagan landslide in 1984, and a complete Republican avalanche in 1994 with a clear, written mandate can't shrink the Federal budget by one thin dime, then we may be looking at the problem through the wrong lens.
We're using old glasses. Maybe we need ghost ring sights instead.
