Cuomo: New York has been 'bailing out' other states for decades

New York’s Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday New York has been “bailing out” other states for decades as he pressed the federal government for more relief to state and local governments amid the coronavirus pandemic.

While Cuomo said it was “not the time to be talking about dollars and cents,” New York’s federal tax contribution has been “bailing out” other states for years.

“It’s not the time to be saying, 'Well, you put in a dollar more than I did, or I put in $5 more than you did.' … But if you want to go to who’s getting bailed out and who paid what, nobody would be bailing out New York state,” Cuomo said during his daily briefing.

“If you want to look at who gives, we are the No. 1 giver — no one puts more money into the pot,” Cuomo continued.

We remember that the big c==ksuker McConnell was right out in front along with Rand Paul.

Only 9 of them voted in the affirmative.


It took years to repair the damage in my town mostly because of a Democratic Senator and Congressman

I still ride around my town and see the physical damage, my town spent millions its really didn't have to make repairs hoping to get the money back.
