  1. Tyberg, I feel your pain.

    This time the What is way off. Yanking 20% out of the “salaries” of data entry clerks working for the State is literally going to take food out of the mouths of children. Lots of children with single mothers just getting by as it is now.

    Better than unemployment? For whom? We’d all love to drive around without licenses or registrations, so let’s just close Motor Vehicle. We all hate to pay taxes, so closing that office will bring cheers. And CUNY’s full anyway, completely over extended. Why double up when people can just get their schooling at Columbia or NYU?

  2. Very hard to gauge demand for gold from India and China. They are both big hoarders of the “barbarous relic”, and could very well be the driving force in this move.
    Virtually all the gold ever mined is still in existence. At some point, demand for a “safe haven” will be met, probably at the same time that it is generally acknowledged that the world may have problems, but is not coming to an end. At that point, investors will want to move from a safe haven to productive investment. After all, gold just sits there and actually costs money to store. At that point, watch out for a stampede to the exits.
    (If I was going to hoard something, my first choice would be Chateau Lafitte)

  3. “The What — It’s a question of *appropriate* budget cutting and making difficult decision in Albany. Not across-the-board cuts which cause nothing but harm.”
