The Senate's $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill may be the largest rescue package in U.S. history, but it doesn't provide nearly enough for New York state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday.
The bill, tentatively approved early Wednesday, "would really be terrible for the state of New York," Cuomo said at his daily briefing in Albany. Cuomo's criticism came as White House officials made clear that President Donald Trump plans to sign the massive relief bill into law as soon as Congress sends it to him.

"Enough money" is a concept totally alien to EVERY Democrat.

Maybe a little less spent on abortions and facilitating illegal immigrants would free up cash for this crisis? Maybe allowing fracking for natural gas production would bring in some money?

Not surprising. No amount of OPM is ever enough for greedy Dems. Infinite is too small.

If you don't believe it's enough, you should inquire with your senior Senator, Chuck SchU.

This is simply talking points they are going to use against Trump during the campaign. All co-ordinated in advance last week-end when piglooser tried to add funding for every single left-wing cause they could come up with. Pretty sure Cuomo will be the chosen one instead of Biden.

If Cuomo took better care of his citizens and didn't fritter away money on abortion and every social justice warrior program, he might have enough in the state coffers to take care of New Yorkers without worrying about having to share with 49 other states. He seems to be upset that people in Wyoming and Mississippi don't see the wisdom in treating New York like it is the most important place on the planet.

#7, you made a very good point. The 500+ million dollars Bloomberg frittered away on his hopeless presidential campaign and current DNC ad campaign could have been spent on medical supplies and outreach to the truly needy citizens. He hates Trump more than he loves his fellow New Yorkers.

The pitiful democrat governor didn't provide an adequate emergency fund for his state. Instead, he spent it on democrat dreams... All the democrat governors blow their money and then expect all taxpayers to bail them out!

New Yorkers and Californians both think their states are the center of the universe, and nothing else that matters exists. Too bad they don't share a border. They could all kill each other over it and solve a lot of problems.

US industry now is at full capacity manufacturing face masks and have voluntarily agreed to move ahead 100%, so what more could US industry do if President Trump ordered them to operate their factories at full capacity making masks. This is a bogus liberal Democrat created controversy.
The problem is that New York State was completely unprepared for this corona virus pandemic and Governor Cuomo is trying to now pass off the blame off on President Trump. But Cuomo has been in office long before Trump was elected. On top of that, Cuomo and New York were offered the opportunity to purchase, during the Obama years, 16,000 hospital ventilators with which to treat patients during an emergency, and Cuomo and New York turned down that offer.
Since Trump was elected Cuomo has refused to render any assistance to the Federal Government when it comes to the effective enforcement of the immigration laws, and has advocated the Democrat created "Sanctuary Cities" concept and "open borders" and most recently has even refused to grant federal immigration officers access to New York driver's license files. The result of all that, most that has been going on for many years, have encouraged millions of illegal aliens from all over the world to come and stay in New York, mainly New York City, an unlawful process that has helped make the city so hugely population dense a place, creating a situation that has made it easy for the corona virus to spread throughout that city. Now huge numbers of those illegal aliens, probably about half working "under the table" in low wage jobs will be laid off from work, along with others who have obtained bogus or fraudulent social security numbers, or the social security numbers issued to other people. Once those illegal aliens no longer have jobs what will they do, as they are not eligible for assistance under the coming federal relief programs. While some will stay put in New York relying on relatives for support or will fraudulently seek to obtain federal assistance, others will leave New York and look for jobs in other parts of the USA, or will return to their home countries, many of them carrying the corona virus with them. The federal government is not large enough and does not have the capability to take care of the medically related needs of every State, as New York is now finding out, that they in many respects will have to take care of themselves.

When this crisis passes, Cuomo is going to have severe withdrawal symptoms when he can no longer blather through a two hour presser every day.

Cuomo's only looking at this a budget replacement - not relief. Aid's not intended for governments but people. But 'helping people" has become an alien concept to dems.

Cuomo acts like nothing is being done by the Federal Government or Trump Admin on the one hand while accepting government handouts and assistance with the other! Cuomo always brags that New York is the financial engine of the country and gives a lot of money to all the other states. Cuomo also routinely berates any kind of Federal government action when it comes to illegal immigration and refuses to cooperate as he runs a "Sanctuary State". Since New York is such a big money maker, they should be able to pay for a lot of their own problems. The Feds can help but they can not make up for all of a states short falls. Cuomo / New York shunned Federal involvement before, now they are crying for it. To make matters worse, Cuomo is publically calling on the President to do things that he has already done or is already being done by private industry.

#18 - Because as was posted down thread ab out 5 hours ago, Soros is spending million$ to fund PACs in 4 battleground states for anti-Trump coronavirus ads. That's a more important use of money. Forward komrades.

Of course he has to say that. He is auditioning to be the Democrat Presidential Nominee for 2020. Like Bernie and Biden, Cuomo can only yell and complain without offering positive solutions.

Like I once told an employee who complained that their bonus check was too small: "If you don't like it, don't take it and give it back. Someone else will happily take it!" They kept the check.

Please explain why this bill would be so terrible for New York. Since New York is the main arrival point for most flights arriving from Europe, it's not surprising that half the cases of this virus are now in New York. From JFK airport, those arriving from Europe then fan out to destinations all over the country. Thus spreading the virus to all parts of the country.

Maybe if the NYC Health Commissioner, Oxiris Barbot, hadn't refused to recommend recent travelers from Wuhan quarantine and cancel the Lunar New Year celebrations back in January, they would be in a different situation now. Sorry, Cuomo--this was NOT Trump's fault. Look to your own.

Assume there are 150 million "producers" in this country. That may be on the high side, and if so, it's even worse. A $2 trillion package dumps over $13,000 in debt on every one of them. All for a $1500 or so "stimulus" check. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Well comrade Cuomo, if you didn't tax the citizens to death to pay gold-plated welfare benefits, import all the illegals and jihadis to stuff the welfare rolls, and give developers billions in free money for solar and wind farms, maybe the state wouldn't be so broke.

If he wants to do something helpful, shut down the airport and stop his self isolated people from fleeing.

I wouldn't lift a finger or spend a nickel on California or New York. California is the poorest governed state in the union and New York is not far behind, As for the 'so- called' "sanctuary states", I say Let them eat cake.
