I don't get the disconnect between government revenues and taxes. That..is how government funds itself..mainly through taxation. Cut taxes and there were be less money to spend. And we've been spending money like crazy lately; two wars, a brand new agency, a brand new entitlement, bailing out corporate fuck ups and saving our banking, financial and insurance institutions. And this year..more butter. An extention of the Bush taxs cuts..yay!
Drying up the government, as Grover Norquist suggests, is going to make this country look like Guatemala..without the charm.
Krugman's take:
Less revenue = Less Services.
Everytime.

As this last Snowstorm in NYC proved..the people that complain the loudest are people that have that tax/finance the goverment disconnect.

Happy New Years Sallow! Enjoy it while you can. You can't run a government spending outside of your means, any more than you can run a business in the red, year after year. Sooner or later, we catch onto the scam. It ain't a Tax/ Finance disconnect, Bro., it's carrying the weight of Incompetent Mediocre Mismanagement of resource and Trust. You need to work on the formula, in the years to come. Increasing allowance, based on result, not entitlement. You lost Billions this week in income, because of poor management skills, and dissension in the ranks. Millions in insurance claims, because of unsalted, unplowed streets. Those are lost revenues to the City. If you don't see the connection between those that work in Manhattan, and where they go home to, and the importance of keeping those arteries clear, rail and road, you have personal issues to address, as does Bloomberg. You should have seen what was going on for what it was. Your Boss needs to start seeing those in the outer Borroughs's as real People, worthy of respect.
