What doesn’t the government understand? Here we are less than a month from the feds defaulting on their debts, and Sen. Chuck Schumer is pushing for an additional $2 million for the Midtown Plaza reconstruction that is already eating $100 million in taxpayer money — all for the sake of a privately held company that wants to move there without adding any significant jobs. How do I get in on a deal like that?
Hey, Chuck … we’re broke! Stop spending.
