re: #393 engineer dog

you seem very interested in state finances. could you tell me whether ny state ran a deficit or profit in its state budget last year? how many states in the union were in the black in the past couple of years? since california continues to pay more into the federal treasury than it gets back in benefits, how did that compare tp the money they feds gave us in stimulus that was used to help with the state budget shortfall? i also heard that california was not the only state to recieve such help - did ny also get help with any budget shortfalls from the federal government? how about other states?

oh I am pretty sure we ran at a deficit… I won’t buy NY bonds. I am pretty sure it will get worse too…
