Another NY Budget Cut....Oh Joy!

Once again, we are facing some billions of dollars New York City budget cut from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Although, I support him and in everything he does, I believe this budget cut will hurt a lot of New Yorkers. They say this budge cut is for a better future for those in New York. But, why are they thinking so far in the future and not in present times? If you keep cutting everything, nothing will be left. As things are getting bad in this state, everyone is moving to the other states that are affordable and I can't blame them either. Along with many other people, the rich people have it too good. The middle class pays the taxes, the upper class gloats, and the lower class just gets everything from the government which comes from our taxes. Tax the rich!! These officials who work hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, tax them too!! You live in NY, you should pay your fair share instead of complaining and hurting the people. The people gives you your paycheck at the end of the year, without us working and giving back to the economy, you wouldn't get a big fat amount like you do now. The proposed budget would lay off many more workers, cut education spending, cut medicare spending, and cut about $100 million dollars more from the MTA. So what does that mean really? That means, people will likely lose their homes, the $205 per credit will increase again, receiving health courage will be hard, and well what do you know, to take mass transit will also increase. Yes, now I understand why people move to Florida. I heard this cut will also cause Jamaica Hospital in Queens to close down. That's many more doctors, nurses, and other employees losing their jobs. So the question is Gov., would you rather lay off all these people and having to pay them unemployment every week? Or would you rather they have a job and continue to contribute by paying taxes and such? I didn't want to have to say this, but everything seems to be backwards. Those who apply for welfare and successfully receive it, are not doing nothing for themselves. If you are a young person, well below retirement age, you should be out there working or doing something. That's why New York has this big deficit because it funds people for all the wrong reasons. But, of course you can't cut everything and expect people to be able to work now can you? So it's like the government is really the ones putting themselves in this situation. But, like everything, nothing will get better before getting bad, but we are just getting hurt at every turn it seems. In the light of things, the people will speak out, and hopefully something more appropriate can be put together for NY!

Edit: 3/29/11

So when I wrote this blog, I was very upset at the governor for creating this budget cut. But, last night I was watching the NY1 news and I heard that the budget cut is going to be passed without any hesitation. After understanding more about this, which I didn't as much when I wrote the blog, I knew why I was his supporter in the first place. I got to know that some $300 million was put into the system for the teachers to prevent lay offs, but Mayor Bloomberg commented and said something like that "fact" was never found or proven. Well how can it be found if all the money was spent on nonsense? I think Govt. Cuomo's budget will hurt the people, yes, but I see why he had to do the cut now. This is going to put more pressure on the authorities of New York such as the Mayor and all of his peoples, and hopefully we will be able to see some of the monies that they "claim" doesn't exist. We shall see what happens now.
