    Andrew Cuomo is proposing historic and unprecedented cuts to the state budget. Bill de Blasio has slashed a summer youth program with 75,000 jobs. Neither Democrat wants to touch the budgets of the NYPD nor state prisons. My first, for @theappealhttps://theappeal.org/cuomo-de-blasio-carceral-kings/ …

        Cuomo and deBlasio shut the money printing presses under the NYS Library in Albany. Did you know that they print money and can spend any amount of money on anything they want to do? Obviously not. THE STATE AND THE CITY ARE BROKE. Both entities have to balance their budgets.

        We cant raise taxes on the rich in good times. We cant raise taxes on the rich in crisis times. We can only make the People sacrifice and suffer the gambling, war, and anti tax addictions of the rich. 2008, only on million times worse. When will we fight back?

        Well let out the thousands of prisoners help for simple weed possession and save millions of tax payer dollars in an instance. Has anyone thought of that.

        Since the republicans don’t want to help the States the States are forced to cut. The Republican lead government has let states fend for themselves during this crisis they are now letting them do the same after. Let hang to dry. Great leadership & unity. NOT. Just what Putin want

        One costs the city millions a year in lawsuits alone. The other in the amount the tax payers pay to jail ppl for miniscule offenses. Just so the NYPD can juke stats & mayor/gov can say they're being tough on crime. When they ain't doing nothing but arresting/jailing ppl over $20pic.twitter.com/2d8EZdzN4X
