Chaos, Anarchy To Reign If Paterson Shuts Down NY (http://wcbstv.com/politics/nys.goverment.shutdown.2.1745114.html)




Monday Could Be Doomsday If Budget Deal Can't Be Reached
Shutdown Would Mean Closing Of State Parks, DMV, Courts, N.Y. Lottery

That's what New York Gov. David Paterson is warning if he's forced to shut down the government in a few days.

The clowns in the state Legislature, now deadlocked for 71 days on the budget, are ready to take down the "big tent" and bring state government to a standstill. At least that's what Paterson thinks.

"No one knows the full ramifications of a government shutdown," said Paterson. "It would create unimaginable chaos around the state and the greater metropolitan areas."

Such chaos includes closing all state parks, motor vehicles offices, courts, and even the lottery. Public assistance payments would not be made and unemployment payments might also be held up.

The governor is in this pickle, in part, because wild cards like Sen. Ruben Diaz Sr. (D-Bronx) and possibly scandal-scarred Sen. Pedro Espada (D-Bronx) might not go along.

Sources said the next emergency bill from Paterson will have up to $350 million in cuts to human services and mental health. But Republicans, who could become Paterson's new allies in the budget battle, aren't satisfied with that.

They want $750 million in new cuts like:


-Delaying the 10 percent welfare grant increases -Withholding welfare from those who don't -Comply with employment requirements
-Reducing the personal needs allowance of people in drug and alcohol programs

Diaz will not go along with that.

"I am not voting for any more cuts. I understand that it is painful," said Diaz. "But the governor is leaving me no choice."

The other renegade, Espada, thinks there might be a budget deal in the offing, but, he said, "I would vote no if such a massive cut were included because the state needs a fiscal plan.

Paterson called both men "thugs."

Espada, like some in both houses of the Legislature, thinks lawmakers will find a way to avoid bringing the government to a grinding halt.

"There will not be a shutdown on Monday. We've never wanted a shutdown," he said.

It's really too early to tell what is going to happen. Will Espada and Diaz back down? Will Paterson make a deal with the Republicans? Or will pigs fly?



Should be an interesting weekend. Illinois comes to bat @ then of June.

How long before we read about New York receiving "federal assistance"?

That's what New York Gov. David Paterson is warning ...

Such chaos includes closing ...the lottery. ...



:o No, not the state lottery! That would be chaos :D .

Seriously, the states are going to bring this country down. If it starts now with the states, with Europe collapsing, the whole thing can go up in flames! The currency race to the bottom will hyper-accelerate along with hyper-inflation!!!


We are entering a hyper accelerating relative-currency-depreciationary inflationary-depression :conf: :o :sicko :wwfg

They're in line right after California.

Wouldn't it be nice if all of these things shut down and most people noticed no difference?

It will be noticed all right when the government money stops flowing to those who expect it.

Nice would be if .01% of the population was dependent on gov not the 50%+ that expects or depends on it.

Sooner or later all payments would be due and payable............the Feds cannot keep on going printing money with no way to refill the well.......and the longer that it takes the harder that it will hit.

We are being attacked from to many sides and something got to give.

PS, I forgot to add, Arizona just sent off 5,000 illegal aliens to N.Y. City. Open up your prisons, jails, Aid to Dependant Children, Food Stamps, Public Housing, Jobs, Public Defenders, Prosecutors, Higher Auto Insurance,your ER Room Hospitals, overcrowded schools, english as a second language, trashed neighborhoods. I heard after these 5,000 arrive in the City, we got another 50,000 coming after July 1. Viva SB1070

Can New Yorkers spell ILLEGAL ALIEN? They are sucking you dry. Just like California.

Just more typical the sky is falling nonsense from liberals. NY is one giant cess pool made that way by years of failed liberal policies. I hope it all shuts down. The people who voted these hacks and screw ups in need to see the consquences of their actions. Only then will they understand that liberalism is nothing but a lie.

wait-wait - I can do methadone all day for free and get a "personal needs allowance" and apply for welfare which is being increased 10% this year alone and get a bunch of other bennies paid for by taxpayers???? Imagine what else I could score for "free" if I squeeze out a kid... What the he** am I working for??? I want to get on the gravy train before it's too late!!

Truly some are living in a world far far away. Reality check for those who think superman will magically save the day. Hell, Obama is watching Blago and his cotemporaries who could nail him whenever they want. Obama won't do it. This is what happens when people with a deficient frontal lobe are in power. The criminals will be having a field day come Monday, maybe thats why the thugs are not caring if there is chaos.

Yeah, right...... NYCity's collapse is not on "King O's" agenda quite yet. He'll reach into his "stash" and give the failed "expirement" a few millions of OUR tax money which, by the way "Robin Hood" we are quickly running out of. The perenneal socialist dilemma: "Will the useless, lazy, neer' do wells revolt when we run out of other people's money"?? I think you dread the answer!

nymike: Bro, I could not have said it better. Alcholics, druggies, bums who won't work, and gamblers might be inconvenienced? Who the f u c * CARES? Shut the government down!!!

Hmm, let's see.... state parks, motor vehicles offices, courts, lottery. Public assistance, unemployment payments. I don't really need or use any of those. I say shut em down. It will prove that instead of the predicted chaos, life will go on.

This is exactly what happens when you get too many of those illegals in your state and they begin winning elections. Close the borders and send em all back! Regain control of our country.

The days of reckoning are upon us. The unions, special interest entitlement dwellers and rest of these 'free lunchers' are about to get a taste of what the middle class has experienced under the DEMarxists since taking over our government in 2006. A pink slip and a blood letting in November. We are fed up as tax payers supporting your a$$es and we are fed up with you unionists extorting higher and higher wages and perks for putting bolts on wheels. Obama has now added $5 Billion per day to our debt. 3 times that of Bush. Enough is enough.

"Reducing the personal needs allowance of people in drug and alcohol programs" CUT IT ALL! I live around the corner from a methodone clinic and these degenerates get f-upped for free and walk around the neighborhood like zombies making everyone uncomfortable. In Gramercy Park! They suck. The program sucks. They will never work as long as the drugs are free and they have a "personal needs allowance". I'm sick of paying for their ridiculous lifestyle. They're bloodsuckers on society. Cut all free drug programs.

If only this would happen! What's the big deal? How about government three days a week, no government for four? Unfortunately, I don't believe the politcial elite are stupid enough to let the public realize how unecessary they realy are.


By JohnnyNinetyNine posted 8 minutes and 24 seconds ago
Let me get this straight: These Democrats are upset about delaying an INCREASE in welfare benefits, and won't agree to cut the taxpayer-funded "allowance" for drug offenders? These politicians are totally braindead and out of touch w/the real world. If this is all that needs to be done to avoid a "crisis" then it's not a crisis. This is a slam dunk. If this is our government at work, I say shut it down and keep it shut down! What a bunch of socialist mornons.

The problem with Patterson and his ilk, these egoist politicians, is that they think we need govt!! Unimaginable Chaos? R U kidding me. State parks will close?!! Boohoo, cook on your deck, walk in your hood, take a drive - nobody will miss the parks but the overpaid govt park workers. DMV closed - then suspend the rules for expired licenses and registration, and boohoo for the kids that cant their license for a while, or auto buyers/sellers that cant get titles. please, chaos?? The lottery shuts down?? what? so idiots save their dollars then, buy a 40oz instead. Delay 10% welfare increase? WTF!! who gets a 10% increase in anything, welfare?? OMG - personal needs allowance for drug and alky people - RU kidding me?? no wonder this state is down the toilet - I cant wait to move - bring on the chaos

Paterson called both men "thugs."


Pot, meet kettle.

Paterson is an incompetent, corrupt Niqqer, just like Obama. He is where he is because Eliot Spitzer never thought he'd be dethroned, and wanted a buffoon like Paterson for Lt. Governor, who wouldn't overshadow him while he was governor.
