I wish the US military would go bankrupt - we may then begin to see some peace return to the world.

As if New York State does not have any other expenditures except education and health care. This is just a good time to cut programs for the despicable middle class and poor, in the name of the --- crisis. But once money is cut from these programs there will be plenty of money to the corporations waiting in line for public kitty to take out from. Best thing would be to let it go bankrupt. Or to take out ANYTHING BUT health care and education. Let us see what will show up on the chopping block!

The sooner New York and the whole America go bankrupt the better. We're sick and tired to listen to the same clowns chattering night and day about war and business, war and business and war and business. These poor people don't know what means the word "life".

“We're going to run out of cash in four and a half weeks”, so said the NY governor. If it is from the person in charge, it should be true. So what? Several other states are going bankrupt soon too. For a nation bent on spending and consuming relentlessly to keep the electorates happy for decades, this outcome must have been a foregone conclusion. May god bless America. (btt1943)
