LMAO, dude, Sinatra is dead, and New York is not far behind. The state is broke! New York doesn't have a shortage of people, it has a shortage of money. I'm guessing it's a liberal thing, but I'm not sure:
New York State Officially Broke
The state is now officially in the red.
State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli just released the June Cash report for the general fund. And for only the second time in modern history (according to the press release) New York ended the first fiscal quarter with a negative balance of $87.1 million.
DiNapoli goes on to suggest there are some positive signs that our financial picture will improve in the future. But he continues to warn that the current budget, minus the revenue plan, could easily fall out of balance if some money streams lawmakers are counting on don’t come to fruition.
“There are fiscal storm clouds rolling in. The next school aid payments are due in September, and New York’s cash umbrella may not be big enough,” DiNapoli said. “The state could, once again, be seriously in the red. Final action on a complete budget is needed and we must continue to closely monitor spending and revenues.”
Ya gotta love liberalism..........
