eyekantspel, well said. I was hoping Bloomberg would have had the guts to get more cuts through in non-essential services, but he seems to resist that for political reasons. The tax situation in the city is really out of control. One of my friend's grandmother has just recently been forced to put her apartment for sale (that she's owned for 30 years) in the city because her property tax went up by double digits for the last few years and she was on a fixed income. Its ridiculous that people are forced from their homes simply because of taxes. This also affects rents too since we get those taxes rolled in. Please cut more in non-essential areas! There is so much waste in this city. We even have to pay additional income taxes just for NYC which very few other localities have in the country and they complain of lack of money - it's sickening.

How can you cut back food for seniors when food prices are increasing?" stock market is f*cked, we're losing thousands and thousands of jobs every day, and there's no money coming in. people are going to have to figure out how to make do with less.
