| 2009-10 executive budget In 2009, New York faced a budget deficit of $15 billion, and state debt approached $55 billion.[101] During his state of the state address, Governor Paterson outlined many issues critical to closing the budget caps, and restoring New York's economic strength and quality of life.[102] He recommended adapting the Suozzi commission recommendations on a property tax cap and circuit breaker, and even joked that he should switch parties as the proposal has remained more popular amongst Republicans than his own party.[103] To address the State's budget gap, the Governor recommended a Deficit Reduction Assessment for the 2009-10 School Year, which will result in a decrease of $1.1 billion in total State School Aid.[104] He also outlined several new taxes and fees he supported. The 137 tax and fee increases contained in Governor Paterson's 2009-10 Budget would cost the average NY family an extra $3,875.48 annually.[105] |
Lets cut Paterson back to $40k. That'll save $139k right there.

In addition, do the following:
- Fire all do-nothing patronage jobs.
- Require all new hires to be justified.
- Remove all perks of office. Let them pay for their own hair cuts, car insurance, etc. Just like we do.
- Push through social service reforms.
- No more 3rd generation welfare!
- Restrict food stamps to food. No more buying lotto with -our- money.
Time our elected officials are reminded It's "public service" not "public wealth building".
Time our welfare mommies learn that welfare is to get you back on your feet, not allow you to stay off them and pump out income boosts every year.
