We have a deficit problem in New York State for the same reason we have one as a nation. Our governments spend too much. Income is not the problem, spending is. I suggest a short course in economics so you can discover that income AND expenditure are related. You would probably be the first to complain if the government provided NO services at all! In fact it's the rich who want a police force, fire department etc. far more than the poor do :-) No. The state has a spending problem. Is is that difficult to uinderstand that when you spend more than you earn you need to curb your spending? When the deficit comes after large tax cuts after there being a budget surplus, it's not hard to understand that those cuts may be part of the problem. Which tax cuts are you referring to? New legislation was just signed that will give the average family a few extra dollars a week to take home. That's the first income tax cut in about 50 years. So, which tax cuts are you referring to? Wow. You just completely blanked out during the Bush administration didn't you? (And every administration & congress for the last 50 years, for that matter.) This part of the thread you referred to was the discussion about New York State. I suggest you reread the exchange again. I was talking about federal. Yes you were but you were interjecting in an exchange about NY State taxes in which there had been no cut in 50 years. That discussion was about the state, not the fed. Ok. I took "state" in "The state has a spending problem" to be the general term since the previous post mentioning NY also mentioned the national deficit. I'm sure in that context my posts make more sense. I see your point |
