The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. ~ H. L. Mencken
A modern Tenth Crusade has been declared by 'The Son of Mario" Cuomo. Here's a five-minute video version hoping to enlist people to support him in his battle against the “special interests and lobbyists”
"Cuomo again blamed state spending on 'permanent law'” Permanent law is a fake malady made up to sell "Cuomo's Snake Oil Cure For Spending" As New York's top court, the Court of Appeals, noted a half-century ago, it is fundamental to our democratic system that "one Legislature cannot be limited or bound by the actions of a previous one."
Cuomo hopes "to enlist people to support him in his battle against the “special interests and lobbyists” and promised his proposed-budget would “shake up the Albany establishment.” Crusader Cuomo has already isolated those special interests and lobbyists to his committees, such as the Medicaid Redesign Team; even Al Sharpton had input in Cuomo committees.
Cuomo blusters, “The real power of the governor comes when the people of the state stand with him. I need you to make your voice heard now. We can right the wrongs of the past.”
Rise up; join "The Son of Mario" in his Crusade Against Special Interests and Lobbyists and buy into "Cuomo's Snake Oil Cure For Spending."
Meanwhile, Moody’s joins the pension skeptics, with "Moody’s new approach is expected to be adopted by other credit-rating agencies ... to find borrowing for projects more costly and their bond offerings less attractive to investors. ... It also reflects skepticism going forward about the expected rate of return on investment used by most pensions funds, such as the 7.75 percent figure used by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System." Andrew is delusional, if believes the 7.50% rate he uses is an improvement.
Reality, the Chinese, Bankruptcy, default, $3 Cuomos, and the Hand Writing on the Wall are closing in on "The Son of Mario," and his Crusade.
"The worst enemies of the republic are the demagogue and the corruptionist." ~ T. Roosevelt
