Bloomberg/Cuomo Are Coming For Your Pension

[Hannah Bell]

Here is one of the reasons Bloomberg endorsed Cuomo:

Mayor Bloomberg's top political aide is vowing to win pension reform in Albany - and predicts he'll have better luck than his predecessors. "I think we have a moment after the next election," Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson told leaders at a breakfast hosted by the Association for a Better New York.

"The winds of change are blowing and the next governor will have an opportunity to deal with some of these problems in a way that past governors have not because crisis creates its own opportunity," he added.

Crisis creates it's own opportunity.

Just what Rahm and Obama said about the financial crisis and education.

Just what Arne Duncan said about Katrina and New Orleans schools.

Now it is what Bloomberg, Cuomo and their oily flacks like Wolfson are saying about pensions.

PS: It's also what Cato said in 1983 about Social Security.

The ruling class is really into this crisis = opportunity/shock doctrine shit.
