Cuomo says NYC deficit is 'Donald Trump's deficit,' state is not going to pay
'I’m not accepting liability,' Cuomo said
By Morgan Phillips | Fox News
 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday again blasted the federal government for failing to provide relief for state and local governments amid the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, saying New York City’s deficit is “Donald Trump’s deficit.”

“We have tremendous losses because of COVID, we're not liable for them,” Cuomo said. New York City has a $9 billion budget deficit and the state’s is $30 billion.

“I’m not accepting liability,” Cuomo continued. “I'm not accepting the premise that New York City or New York State should pay.”

He added: “We didn't do anything wrong. The federal government should pay. The federal government was wrong.”

Only a liberal would be stupid enough to claim a city like NYC which has accumulated the debt, probably over decades, would be the fault of a president who didn't spend the money and has been if office only 4 years. 10631
