Speaker 1: According to Politico, the biggest public transit system in America
Speaker 1: is facing ruin. Will Congress step in and save it?
Speaker 1: After the coronavirus hit, New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority got
Speaker 1: a four billion dollar bailout from Washington. They blew through it.
Speaker 1: Now they're facing a ten billion dollar deficit, and they're
Speaker 1: worried the three billion dollars the MTA gets from taxes
Speaker 1: won't come through because the tax base has gone. Now
Speaker 1: all options are supposedly on the table. Massive increases in fairs,
Speaker 1: slashing the workforce, which means war with the union, slashing
Speaker 1: the operating budget, slashing service. Even if Governor Cuomo takes
Speaker 1: all these actions, they're still gonna be billions in the whole.
Speaker 1: If New York Mass Transit fails, Liberals fear it will
Speaker 1: lead to an economic crisis in the entire Northeast. So
Speaker 1: New York politicians are begging the federal government for thirty
Speaker 1: two billion dollars to keep the transit authority going. Democrats
Speaker 1: who run the House are happy to spend whatever Andrew
Speaker 1: Cuomo and Chuck you Schumer asked for, but Republicans not
Speaker 1: so much. Why should the Republicans intervene. Northeast liberals have
Speaker 1: spent every wakened moment for the last four years trashing Trump,
Speaker 1: and now they come in hat in hand, begging for
Speaker 1: billions to save the city. They are destroying the proper responses.
Speaker 1: It's hold, we go pound sand and at a landfill.
Speaker 1: Let them fix their problems themselves. They're gonna have to
Speaker 1: save that city somehow, especially since their policies caused these problems.
