New Yorkers are already fed up with having to subsidize and prop up solid red states. We deserve a break.
I like King & don't blame him at all for representing his constituency.


But before suggesting that blue props up red, keep in mind that 80% of the Mortgage bail out (which cost a few Trillion) went to blue states.

As an economic facist, I'd like to 1099 every individual who got a Mtg. Mod. (& 1099 Chase, BofA & the other banks for the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in funds that they received). I've got a former brother in law in Virginia who knocks down 200K per year and got his mortgage whacked down from 650K to 510K. He's a pr*ck, & I'd love to see him get a 1099 for 140K.

& I suspect a few of those 1099s would end up in mailboxes on Long Island.

Dude, it's an economic observation. Don't take it personally. My brother lives in Malibu and my sister lives in Santa Barbara.

We both know that anyone who borrowed 600K or 700K+ to buy real estate will be affected by this. There are only a few parts of the country where lots of people have borrowed 600K (or more) for real estate.

Tri-State had its butt saved by the bailouts, both mortgage writedowns and jobs.

I applauded the demise of Lehman. We should have let the toxic banks fail, too.

lmao...Voting for the people who raise your taxes then crying that you need a break. Pricelessly comical. All you progs who are against this just need to sit in the back of the bus, keep quiet and pay your fair share!

yes- currently NY, CA, NJ, TX, and NJ don't pay their fair share. It's MS, LA, WV, and AK that are the ones paying their fair share of the federal tax burden. My god, look ups fact before you post....
