[BigMoneyGrip]

He's being put front and center for a reason.

Because New York is ground zero for this virus that’s why

He’s a bully who either strong arms or connives to get his ways.

He legit hates progressives but will tolerate them if necessary. He has gone out there way to put his foot on their neck if they ever disobey him

On the low he is just a more competent Trump and that personality quirk is why they can’t get along. They both know exactly who each other are

Good progressives act like just bc they’re the loudest they run shyt, they have zero power in real life, sometimes u gotta stop listening to them and tell them to shut the fukk up.

Can you blame the Republicans and the members of the IDC that he propped up for a fukking decade?

But the same Cuomo who is racing to expand New York’s hospital capacity and crying out for more federal resources is quietly trying to slash Medicaid funding in the state, enraging doctors and nurses, and elected officials of his own party. The same Cuomo who holds press briefings at a major New York City convention center, now the home of a temporary 1,000-bed hospital, presided over a decade of hospital closures and consolidations, prioritizing cost savings over keeping popular health care institutions open.

What’s striking to Petty and other health care experts is how Cuomo has not backed off his plan to cut Medicaid, despite the horrific Covid-19 outbreak. Earlier this year, Cuomo empaneled what is called a Medicaid Redesign Team to slash Medicaid spending in New York after a $6 billion budget shortfall, driven largely by rising Medicaid costs, became evident in late 2019.

Some of the budgetary abyss has been the Cuomo administration’s own making: postponing Medicaid payments and failing in the past to iron out inefficiencies like the state’s paying Medicaid costs for relatively wealthy, private hospitals that don’t need the aid in the first place. Despite his reputation as a big-government progressive, Cuomo has held to a self-imposed caps on state spending and property tax increases, putting additional strains on local governments trying to fund municipal services.

“It’s obscene,” said State Senator Gustavo Rivera, a Bronx Democrat who chairs the Senate Health Committee. “These are immoral actions that the governor is taking.”

With the state budget for the next fiscal year due on April 1, Cuomo is proposing to gut Medicaid by $400 million, part of $2.5 billion in cuts he’s seeking over several years. So determined is Cuomo to slash Medicaid spending that he’s prepared to reject more than $6 billion in matching federal aid approved earlier this month because it would force him to alter his austerity strategy.

What’s more, the state has lost more than 20,000 hospital beds over the last 20 years. Cuomo, who has governed for almost half that period, never advocated for any kind of expansion of hospital beds until last month; he now says New York needs 110,000 beds, more than double the current capacity. He has never been a forceful advocate for keeping hospitals open; in fact, he’s empowered bureaucrats who’ve argued aggressively to shutter them.

These days, the best hope for the health care providers and advocates who want to save hospitals from further gutting is for Cuomo to simply change his mind. As governor, he holds inordinate power over the state budget, where he wants his cuts enshrined. Lawmakers may have to choose between rejecting his cuts or shooting down the state budget altogether in a time of singular catastrophe.

The deficit is the Federal governments fault from everything I read. Not sure why you're trying to move the goal posts and muddy the issue.
