Hey New Yorkers, isn’t our state supposed to be in an economic crisis like we haven’t seen since the Great Depression? I’m sure Governor Paterson is aware of the financial troubles facing our state, so why on earth did he spend about $20,000 of our tax dollars to go to Washington, DC last week for Barack Obama’s inauguration? And why is he spending God knows how much to be in Davos Switzerland this week?
He’s never held a private job, the state he governs by default is $15 billion in debt and counting with no new revenue in sight, he just goofed big time on a high profile political appointment with a member of a fading, but still powerful political family, so what is New York State Governor David Paterson (D) going to do next?
Why do what comes naturally–spend still more non existent government money according to an exclusive New York Post report. He’s off to Davos in Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. He has to attend because apparently he hasn’t heard the world economy is tanking. Rapidly.
I guess he’s waiting for his piece of stimulus pie promised by Senator “Chuck You” Schumer.
Update: It looks like Gov. Paterson had second thoughts about this ill-timed junket.
