WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Nov 20, 2020

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>New York City and surrounding suburbs face the unthinkable. According

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to Bloomberg News service, on city buses and subways could

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>be reduced by commuter trains by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>says they're going to be forced to raise fairs and

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>tolls and cut nine thousand jobs now for the fifteen

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>million people to depend on New York's mass transit. This

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:26.080
<v Speaker 1>is a disaster. Bloomberg calls it a doomsday scenario. They

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>predicted if these cuts happen, the economic fallout will continue

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>even after the pandemic is over. The entire region will suffer,

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>and the suffering could last for years. New York's economy

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>could take a sixty five billion dollar hit. Total job

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>losses could be north of Ford in fifty thousand. Now,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>this adds up to a huge steaming pile of bad

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>news for the Northeast. But there is a solution that

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>would stop this debt in its tracks. If the federal

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>government just steps in with a bunch of cash, none

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of this bad stuff will happen. So New York transportation

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>bosses are begging and pleading. They want a measly twelve

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars from the federal treasure and save the buses,

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.479
<v Speaker 1>save the subways, save the commuter trains, the jobs, the economy.

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Then nobody could blame Governor Cuomo or the Mayor Deblasio

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>or the Democrat Party for closing down New York to

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>play political games. That's their objective. I hope it doesn't happen.
