Mayor Bill de Blasio continued to rattle his beggar’s cup Saturday night, warning that without a few billion in federal dollars the city would “go broke.”
The coronavirus pandemic has punched a $7.4 billion hole in the city’s budget that only Congress and the Trump administration can patch, he said in a pair of cable news appearances.
Without the aid, the mayor said, the city would have to make “dangerous” cuts.
“It means all the things that people depend on in their lives — police, fire, sanitation, education — go down the list of all the things that makes any city, any town function,” the mayor said on MSNBC.

De Blasio described the early, slow response to the virus as a result of Trump’s failure to get increase testing capacity at the onset.

BOO HOO!! Feds have done enough for NY already!! You have the highest taxes in the nation maybe you should stop taking care of illegals!!!
Chop the City Pensions.
No time like the present to cut off ALL federal money to sanctuary cities and possibly the States that support them.
Ask his wife where the money went.
What’s in YOUR wallet, De-Blozio?
“It means all the things that people depend on in their lives — police, fire, sanitation, education"
Because of his mismanagement and over spending....Also didn’t he tell one and all that this virus wasn’t that bad back in mid March?
Will they cut funding to illegal aliens? No.
The Federal Government gets its money from the taxpayers. So do the states.
Every state has less money due to the shut down of business that generates income to be taxed and sales tax for sale of product.
So every state will have to either raise taxes or cut services. This is not a unique problem. Suck it up buttercup Blasio and adjust your budget. Start with your own salary.
Trump to Cuomo: Tough titty Governor. Start with Rule of Law... exile ILLEGAL ALIENS from your sanctuary state.
Subsidize my idiocy. Gotta run. Late for my workout.
Publish the city budget...and then let the people decide what gets cut.
Tell them to pound sand. If they cannot manage a simple hoaxdemic without folding, then they do not need the rest of America used as their tit.
The Great State of Texas leading the way and opening for business today.
Maybe you commies in the north should do the same
The discussion begins with elimination of sanctuary status, ending NYC social welfare (including schooling) for illegal aliens, no more driver licenses, full cooperation with ICE deportations/detainers, and other measures to ensure any new federal money benefits CITIZENS.
Yeah it is always cut the police, fireman, ....never cut the wasted billions like worthless deadbeats government parasites or their BS pensions, overtime and other crap. Screw NYC and it’s love of illegals. Tell us again, how many ventilators you need jerkoff?
Pay Your bills.
