Quotes-start.png "At first glance, this seems like a pretty good deal. After all, the city's budget deficit, pre-bailout, is expected to hit $11.3 billion over the next 2½ years; Albany is looking at a $15.8 billion hole over the next 15 months. But then, where's the bailout money going to come from? New Yorkers themselves, ultimately: The city and state send far more money to Washington than they get back. Taken that way, the bailout doesn't seem like such a bargain. " Quotes-end.png
