I fully support Governor Patterson on cutting state government spending. It’s about time. My only objection is he shouldn’t give corporate welfare to big companies who threaten to leave New York State as he did for one major company. This company made record profits this quarter but continues to send thousands of jobs overseas. Saving 1,000 jobs is a start. The Governor should make them save 5,000 jobs in NYS and/or enforce no more resource actions (layoffs)in NYS in order to get the big NYS tax incentive package.

I am happy to see this Governor make a concerted effort to show the State of New York, what has been nicely covered up. There is too much fraud, cover-ups in agency’s, agency that are not doing there jobs correctly, and the list of constant jabs just continues to go on. If you ask any body on any particular day if they have read of a company scheming, fraud, or participating in unfair practices, it is in ALL the news papers there are to print. So, these idiots get prosecuted, they will either go to jail, or have to relocate so no one goes knocking on their door, looking to for the shares money. These people are legal mafia. They are making it bad, and have no sense of how wide spread the problem is. It continues to go on, and people are literally stymied, where can you turn, when business are falsifying records, using there smarts to create accounts that don’t exist, money laundering the hard working people right out the nearest wash basin.
This spread of tough economic times is just a starter, the twist and turns that are going to become a major problem is in further criminal behavior, and spousal abuse, as the dollar continues to tighten, so will peoples tempers. Or maybe by some weird coincidence, people will realize that money goes so far, and the budget is best helped by keeping it. Regardless of companies that don’t know what they are doing, it brings back to mind when Donald Trump had his reality show, “You’re Fired”. The main idea was being able to build a company and figure out how you were going to solicit business. The people chosen were graduates of some of the finest colleges in the country, and yet when it came to common sense fell flat on their faces. Why? because you can’t tell people what to do, the difference is, you can ask.
Many business today are using people to do filler jobs, making phone calls to make more business, most people are too busy to do business over the phone, but who cares? Nobody, people hang up on telephone solicitors, whether it’s television adds, vacations, credit cards, then out sourcing and speaking to people speaking Swahili, is another fun thing, including health care, insurance, and mortgages, I can barely understand these things when it’s said in English, so to hear from someone who is speaking Swahili is a little bit more far fetched. We have just become too laxed, too ignoble, and instead of being the smart sufficient people we once were, who took pride in making it in the U.S. have learned that by making it overseas it is cheaper. We are all to blame for selling our own selves out, and now here we are with a huge deficit and at the least we are rewarded we are blessed with Governor who is willing to not make light of it, or make it go away. This man is only one person, after a long list of people who have learned conveniently to pass the buck, and hope the idiots aren’t paying too much attention, just pass the buck along, to yours and mine best, the tax payer. After all there is very little places to go when you are speaking about taxes. And that will go far, as it has. I hope this people heed this wake up call, and listen to what choices are being offered by a person who is not afraid of what people might think. People have had many services that are not what they seem to be, and the people that work with those services have learned to rake the system at the expense of innocent people. I am inspired by David Patterson and hope he will continue to help New Yorkers and other States to look and make adjustments until people get the sense that all this confusion is hurting the proud people of New York, and The U.S. if he is going to speak about problems, he might want to hopefully touch on illegals as well, since the problem cost indirectly and directly as well.
