    That usually how you keep the pyramids running. You offload debt to the larger party (the state) and suspend pension contributions to the people, and say taxing the rich balanced the budget.

    The next move is to become governor, and then stop state pension contributions, and offload debt to the federal government, and say taxing the rich solved this issue.

    Then run for president. The plan will work for 4-8 years and when you leave an entire generation with no retirements and the debt gets passed to the next generation, you can blame the next guy!

          So that debt the state is paying for…why do you think NYC had it in the first place?

          Even with this “offloaded debt,” NYC citizens receive less for their tax dollars than the rest of the state

      As if govs aren’t in stupidly unreasonable amounts of debt already by spending money on corporate welfare and death machines. And corruption. Let them have a small treat.
