Life in "Progress" State - New York edition

Apparently, New York is having some budgeting difficulties.........

Chaos and anarchy. That's what New York Gov. David Paterson is warning if he's forced to shut down the government in a few days.

The clowns in the state Legislature, now deadlocked for 71 days on the budget, are ready to take down the "big tent" and bring state government to a standstill. At least that's what Paterson thinks.

"No one knows the full ramifications of a government shutdown," said Paterson. "It would create unimaginable chaos around the state and the greater metropolitan areas."

Such chaos includes closing all state parks, motor vehicles offices, courts, and even the lottery. Public assistance payments would not be made and unemployment payments might also be held up.

Remember when The Billary and congress deadlocked on a budget and the feds closed for a couple of weeks? You probably don't because I don't know one person impacted by the government shut down.

But hey, if people are going to riot because they can't get welfare, it makes for a good time to have a job fair.

A government that looks an awful lot like Greece?

Now that's "Progressive"!
