Albany Democrats propose an absolutely ridiculous budget
Nypost ^ | 03/17/2024 | John Ketcham

In their annual one-house budget resolutions, Democratic majorities in the state Assembly and Senate laid out their negotiating position for this year’s budget deal with Gov. Hochul.

They’ve decided to spend more — $13 billion more than the governor’s already-record $233 billion executive budget.

And tax high earners and corporations more too, despite Hochul’s opposition.

I guess they’ll need to sue a lot more property developers

That’s about $14,000 per New York State resident.

There are lots of cities and towns in New York State taxing and spending on top of that.

Well, one consolation is that Broome County has thrown Dominion OUT of our elections, whether Clear Ballot Group machines will not select the winners remains to be seen.

Florida 23-24 budget: 114.8 billion dollars. Population: 22.57 million.

OTOH,

NYS 23-24 budget: 229 billion dollars. Population: 20.17 million.

Double the expenditures for fewer people.

Only CA and NY can lose money selling grass. What a miserable state.

Number of state employees in NYS over the years.

Keep in mind that over the last sixty years or so, NYS has lost almost half its House seats.

Just another reason we are glad to have made our escape from NY.

That is why we should want them to raise taxes as high as possible.

At some point even the most die hard productive New York citizens will feel the two by hour crashing into their head—and get out of Dodge.

There is the Laffer curve; revenue will decline even further. I’m wait for the day when the NYSE pulls completely out of NYC and NY.
