No one wants to accept that our state is running out of money... We've asked government to fund to take on too many tasks that cost too much money. And here we are in a quagmire because of it. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/sites/all/play_music/play_full.php?play=410&podcast=1

"We may be looking at a culture and lifestyle around this country that will start to remind people of the Depression, not a recession, if we cut through these budgets much more," said New York Gov. David A. Paterson (D), who was among a small group of state chief executives who descended on Congress on Wednesday to make a last-ditch plea for federal help.
My question is when will the NYC and NYS income tax rates skyrocket?
Tax payers of the world, unite!
Has anyone noticed the effect of the recently changed bus routes? The wait for a bus is interminable and yesterday I was on a bus where there was a near mini revolt because it was so crowded -- and this was not rush hour. We are going to see quite a few NYC lifestyle changes.
Why are you riding the bus? You do know the world's largest subway system is right under your feet?
My wife has been 'flashed' on the train 3x in her life, 0x on bus.
Funny, Westie - totally the opposite experience for me. Buses make me carsick, too.
Really?, I need to flash more ppl on the trains.
