So Far Cuomo Spent $28 Million To Create 76 Jobs.

[Mr VJP]

You’ve seen Andrew Cuomo’s TV commercials, the ones that say, “The new New York is open. Open to innovation. Open to ambition. Open to bold ideas.” The spot is promoting the Start-Up NY program.

Now the results are starting to come in: 76 jobs so far.

In the entire state. From a program that has spent $28 million advertising its own existence.

That’s $368,000 per job.

Start-Up NY sounds great on its face. It’s a tax cut. Who could argue with that? The problem is that it’s a very, very narrow tax cut. It’s only for certain kinds of businesses that do certain kinds of things in certain areas of the state.

It is expensive self promotion. Very expensive.

The guy is very good at tooting his own horn, I'll give him that.

[Mr VJP]

Yeah, with taxpayer money.  

 

The trouble with socialists is, they eventually run out of other people's money.  

 

I know some folks will claim he isn't one, but when you believe in high taxes and big government controlling everything, that's what it's called.

Actually Mr VJP it's Fascism. A form of Socialism, but without government ownership. Control without responsibility, IOW, and it's basically candy for the current "progressive liberals" who don't know anything about responsibility or accountability.

 

To your OP: As long as Cuomo can spin it with the media so that he looks good, he'll be happy with those numbers.
