Things Cuomo spent money on instead of preparing for an emergency.

[candycorn]

For lack of coordination in the response for one thing. After hurricanes when we had competent leadership, FEMA set up PODs for bottled water, ice, and commodities like powdered milk, cheese, eggs, sandbags, etc. FEMA is doing nothing of the sort on a scale that is needed. So you have these shortages we see at the grocery stores.

Also when your blob engages in innuendo about the localities, it’s not helpful.

Kushner: "The notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile," he said during Thursday's coronavirus briefing. "It's not supposed to be states' stockpiles that they then use."

Speaks volumes.

Kushner is correct.

Your blob sure does speak volumes when he asserts State Rights.

NYS had years to refill their stockpiles that H1N1 had decimated.
Obama told them it wasn't necessary.

Now Cuomo is screaming for 40,000 ventilators.

Will Trump meet Cuomo's screams?
Up to a point, yes....he already has

Who is the Stockpile for?

Cuomo critics highlight years of taxpayer waste, amid deepening coronavirus crisis in New York


But critics contend Cuomo also needs to look closer to home.

"Although the public is only now becoming aware of the problem, emergency room shortages have long plagued the state's healthcare system. In addition, New York bypassed an opportunity five years ago to purchase 16,000 ventilators at a total cost of under $600 million," Joel Griffith, a research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told Fox News.

"This sum represented just 0.4 percent of the 2015-2016 enacted budgetvc— a year in which more than $2.3 billion was set aside for 'economic development,' an amorphous category riddled with cronyism. This potential shortage was both avoidable and warned about," he said.

The state's track record for apparent fiscal exhaustion has been brought to the forefront countless times over the years. Cuomo was condemned two years ago after he reportedly ordered that the money-beggared MTA spend around $30 million on retiling two city tunnels with the state's blue-and-gold motif rather than using the funds for much-needed repairs.

In 2018, critics also called Cuomo out for massive overspending on endeavors that did not see the light of day.

For one, there were the millions injected into a solar-panel factory, which was touted as becoming the largest manufacturing facility in the nation, only to be taken over by Tesla which scaled back solar endeavors, leaving its future – and the reported $50 million paid for by New Yorkers – in limbo.

And then there was a 2014 partnership with California light bulb company Soraa, which saw a $90 million factory erected outside Syracuse, only for the business deal to go bust and a taxpayer-financed factory with lights that failed to flicker on. Many also lamented the millions spent on putting up 500 "I Love New York" promotions signs across state highways, despite being called a violation of state and federal highway safety regulations.

"Just last year we saw Governor Cuomo allocate $30 million to provide college tuition to those here illegally – that's $30 million worth of ventilators and personal protective equipment that we can't send to our heroes working on the front lines during this pandemic today," argued GOP Assemblyman Mike LiPetri, who currently serves in New York's 9th district. "Governor Cuomo likes to tout his 'excelsior' motto – onward and upward he says – when the sad reality is his history of mismanagement, and misguided policies have kept us firmly planted in the difficult situation we face here today."

A 2019 Market Review examination of New York's fiscal health pointed out that almost all "governments spend money like it's going out of style, with very little regard to the long-term consequences."

But New York, on both a city and state level, is already at the top of the nation in terms of local and state tax burdens.

"New Yorkers pay the highest state and local business taxes in the nation, the second-highest individual income taxes, the highest workers, compensation costs, and the fifth-highest property taxes. Don't expect a lightening of these economic burdens anytime soon," Griffith said. "The state's underfunded public sector pensions represent financial time bombs which will require a combination of higher taxes and diminished essential government services—such as emergency medical responses and functioning mass transit."

Cuomo critics highlight years of taxpayer waste, amid deepening coronavirus crisis in New York

While coronavirus ravages New York City -- with officials desperately clamoring for life-saving supplies and federal assistance -- attention has also turned to years of fiscal mismanagement and cost-cutting, despite being one of the highest-taxed states in the country.

Did he give a trillion dollars tax cut to his buddies and their business?

No?

The STFU tRumpkin.

What does a federal tax cut have to do with local responsibility?

President Trump said it best in his response to a commie reporter today. The federal government is there as a backup--not as a main provider. The main provider for a state is the state itself. If a state opts to use their resources to provide other things besides a possible epidemic, then why are those very same states criticizing the federal government for not providing what they should have?

The point is simply this: nobody could have seen this coming: Not Trump, not states, not cities, not the world. Since every level of government was blindsided by this, why lay all the blame on the federal government alone?

For lack of coordination in the response for one thing. After hurricanes when we had competent leadership, FEMA set up PODs for bottled water, ice, and commodities like powdered milk, cheese, eggs, sandbags, etc. FEMA is doing nothing of the sort on a scale that is needed.

Speaks volumes.

Apples and oranges really. Hurricanes and tornadoes are things we get every year. We are prepared for them because they are expected; sometimes several times a year. We know it's going to happen, we know what kind of damage they are capable of, and we know how to prepare ourselves thanks to a lot of practice.

Very few people alive in our country has ever seen anything like this. This is not a country pandemic, it's a worldwide pandemic. Ignoring our system of government and the filthy bureaucracies responsible for the delays in providing help is running down the road with blinders on.

Considering all the red tape involved, our President is doing a fantastic job. Then there are the Democrats to consider, who's only concern is power and trying to make the President look bad. That's why in early March, they were trying to pass a bill to strip him of his authority to issue travel bans, and rescind is original travel ban.

Isn't Fredo supposed to be deathly ill? WTF, I saw him prancing around "phony bantering" with the brother/governor - can't remember his first name, and why would I give a fuck what his name is, I'm from Texas.

Is it ok to root for the dry cough when it comes to Fredo? It is a living organism. I mean the virus, not Fredo.

The virus effects different people in different ways. One of the fears they have now are people who have it, and not even know it. They are spreading it to the public without their knowledge. His brother is a pretty healthy guy. He works out and is middle-aged with no serious medical issues. He'll be fine.
