New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has claimed that his city requires $7.5 billion in federal aid to get back on track after being crippled by the coronavirus pandemic that has killed thousands of residents and shut down much of the city's economy.
President Trump and other Republican leaders have resisted handing out too much aid out of concern state and local leaders are hoping to be bailed out of economic trouble that began well before COVID-19 ravaged the nation. De Blasio insisted on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that this is not the case for his city, which needs the money to recoup losses needed to pay city workers.
NYC COUNCILMAN CALLS OUT CUOMO, DE BLASIO, ASKS FOR 'URGENCY' AND 'REASONABLE GUIDELINES' IN REOPENING
Thats revenue thats gone that pays for cops, firefighters, teachers, sanitation workers, its gone," de Blasio said. "And theres no way Im going to get it back. De Blasio said he expects even greater losses, and that the citys economy wont come back without a stimulus.

You destroyed it. >You< figure out how to bring it back. CA wants the same thing, taxpayers from other states to bail out your incompetence.
If we start down this road, this is going to get hugely expensive. California expects a $54 billion deficit in the next fiscal year. New York state is going to be in the hole about $13 billion, according to Cuomo. Here we see deBlasio wants $7 billion for New York City. If each state and each city in every state is going to have a hand out to offset their pending deficits, are we looking at potentially into the TRILLIONS of dollars coming from Washington????
And does anyone realize that the federal government is broke, that the official national debt is well over $20 trillion now, with trillions more in unfunded liabilities? It’s not as if there is extra money in the federal treasury that can be parceled out to Democratic run states and cities.
NY didn’t have beds.. masks... did they ever prepare for anything? It’s no surprise they need money... most cities do and so do families who have lost jobs.... these leaders should do what leaders are supposed to do... prepare... don’t expect someone else will take care of your concern.. NY.
I get concerned on how much the debt is now... and dem governors are reluctant to open their states... open the shops/stores... they can’t overcome if they keep businesses closed and no jobs for the people.
Blasio’s brains been battered, splattered all over Manhattan!
Call us after De Dick-io has lost his last penny.
That’s LAST PENNY.
Oh, and we have to find him hanging from a lampost a la Mussolini.
Them we might think about sending NYC a couple of bucks.
Along with an extended finger.
Suckers - they elected him, they can shove his body up their collective Obamasholes.
Dibasio and Cuomo have been singing that tune before the virus.......now they want the rest of the states to pay for all the free handouts they’ve been giving out like candy to New Yorkers.
They’ve created their “Candy welfare state”....let them handle it.....sell the warehouses full of product they’ve been hoarding to start!
How about the city pensioners can keep their pensions at full benefit so long as they reside in, and continue to pay city and state taxes in NYC. Decrease the amount a certain percent for people who retire but stay in NY, and even more for retirees who leave the state entirely. Most retirees will gladly take the cut and still come out ahead.
FOAD!
Sounds fine to me.
New Yorkers can always move to Akaska. Plenty of empty land there and wide open places.
The tough boys from the hood can always wrestle with the grizzlies.
nopers
no money to sanctuary cities
Just stop the free handouts would be a start and the people ‘work’ for their candy.
The Missouri Gov said today that its not the feds responsibility to bail out states that mismanage their funds. So go get bent new York.
In before Seinfeld: “That’s a shame.”
Cuomo: Unless elderly New Yorkers suddenly start passing away in droves ...
DiBlasio: Ohhhh! got you, Andrew. Now, what should we do about all the potholes?
Hey De B, Go F yourself!
NYC is on track to become another black hole of Calcutta.
He says that as if that would be a bad thing.
when has nyc ever cooperated with fedogv?
how about your budget problems that are finally biting you hard in tge ass, are your problems nyc? the people voted for this crap and the people,who would push these budgets, its all on them.
Fail safe was good movie. Lots of good actors in that one. Tough job being the president. ....1964, Henry Fonda.
Um ... NO!!!!
The greedy SOB demanded and got tons of everything, including money, from the American taxpayers two months ago. Then he auctioned off some of the equipment and kept the money. Now he wants MORE money from us? Just no.
