Who would post crap like this?
kamala harris was on cnn andersen this evening, talking about the “failed leadership,” how she is writing a letter with her colleagues to propose solutions, and the need for expansion of SNAP (EBT cards) since she claims that paychecks run the risk of being confiscated and EBT cards are the fastest way to get money to the people so that they can pay their rent.
Wait a second... Newsom ordered a tenant eviction ban effective immediately... so how does giving money through EBT cards...
Hawaii hired too many police....
This is a golden opportunity for governments to do zero-based budgeting.
Start by only opening those entities that are truly essential.
Most of the rest should be phased out.
To hell with government workers, their gold plated retirement plans, and guaranteed jobs. It’s about time they felt the pain we suffer.
Econonic collapse will crush big spending high tax states like California and New York. However in other states this could be a golden opportunity to oust big tax liberal governments.
Phase 2:
Under W. Comp a shortfall will have to be addressed by the Ohio General Assembly. Possibly asking more $$ from employers. OH. Lt. Gov.
“Voters will not be pleased.”
That’s an understatement.
Only the LIEberal states that failed to prepare.
I believe this will be true to a great extent. The states like Illinois that are already in Deep S will not know what to do, they now admit they are looking at a almost $7 Billion deficit.
They can’t raise taxes, no one to pay them, and what investors in their right mind will buy their bonds.
My prediction is this, Congress will change the rules for The Fed and allow them to buy state and municipal bonds, just like the Bank of Japan does with stocks, corporate bonds, etc., it may well come to that here. The Fed will be the buyer of last resort.
Here in Arkansas it is against state law for the state to have any debt. we can’t sell bonds, etc.. The state by law has to adjust the budget if the money is not there, mandatory cuts across the board no exceptions.
Let’s see what happens with NY, Ca, and Ill, to name a few.
“...Many states, cities and counties are about to, suddenly, run out of money. ...”
*********************************************
“Suddenly” my ass. These governments have been overspending for years and decades. This is trying to position things politically for a vast federal bailout. HELL, NO!!
The Democrats and the media are feeding this Fear Monster. They had better stop or all hell is going to break loose and it will consume them too. There will be no place to hide.
“Many states, cities and counties are about to, suddenly, run out of money.”
Fake News!! California has plenty of money to pay illegal aliens. They must be rolling in it. /s
Cuomo wants the federal government to bail the states out by making up the shortfalls in revenue due to the virus.
You really have to wonder how the nation managed to get through the Depression and just a few years later World War II.
Disaster II: The leftist dream of a federal bailout for the bankrupt blue states.
I am a County Supervisor of a County of 220,000. We have 51 cases including 2 deaths. One of the deceased was 77 years old the other was 90. NINETY YEARS OLD. Our County government is doing fine, but it won’t if this is to go on. OPEN THE DAMN COUNTRY. Governor Ducey here in Arizona has been as good as you can possibly be by letting local governments do what they believe is right. OPEN THE DAMN COUNTRY.
The government officials and politicians shutting down their own economies ignored that they were massively reducing the very revenue streams they, the government, needs to exist. Soon the effects of their economic shutdown policies will snowball right through their own offices, engulfing them in it, depressing their economies even further.
