“We’ve discussed the cloud of corruption which has surrounded the Buffalo Billion from the beginning. Multiple people have now gone to jail and others are awaiting trial because so much of the money was steered to politically well-connected allies of the Governor while providing little to nothing in return.”
The Democrats are a criminal organization not a political one, in the traditional sense. It is the Mafia with campaign banners. They are only interested in helping themselves not the citizens.

Isn’t Cuomo the type of leader our founders were concerned about?

Or no?

There’s a difference between tax expenditures and plain old expenditures.

Amazon was going to get $3 billion in breaks on taxes on income they expected to earn. A credit against usual taxation. But, NY and NYC weren’t going to lay out or advance any funds to Amazon.

What happened in Buffalo? Did the State pay out money it had on hand, or issue bonds to create the new solar enterprise zone? Much worse—more like Solyndra than Amazon. In other words, they lost real money, whereas by scaring off Amazon they didn’t take less of possible future earnings. Quite different.

That’s the way it sounds to me.

Sun power in Buffalo? That sounds stupid conceptually.

A lot of these green companies go bust.
Interestingly enough a handful of democrats become rich in the process.

This wasn’t just a case of poor planning or bad luck, by the way. We’ve discussed the cloud of corruption which has surrounded the Buffalo Billion from the beginning. Multiple people have now gone to jail and others are awaiting trial because so much of the money was steered to politically well-connected allies of the Governor while providing little to nothing in return. The entire thing has long since begun to look more like an organized crime racket more than any sort of economic stimulus program.


This is what the Green New Deal would morph into, however on a much larger scale.

Sad part is that much of upstate NY sits atop the huge Marcellus Shale deposit. Can’t develop that though, we have to chase green unicorns because ....well....the climate changes.

And they and he do that very efficiently. All the while gloating, boasting, and smugly bragging about their ability to do it. In effect, mocking and defying God.

I refer back to the Apostle Paul's, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked. As one sows, they also reap." The politicians have sown death and destruction for the State of New York. Unless they repent, in turn, they will reap such.

Perhaps these events are God hitting them in their pocketbook to get their attention.

The thing about a shark. Cuomo, It's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin’... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.

I was critical, too. And I’m not a socialist.
