With the national and state economy struggling and the potential of a recession looming, Governor Spitzer has presented a budget as though there is no concern.  His proposed budget of 124 billion is up over 5%, a very big increase, even in good times.  As a result there is a 4 billion dollar budget gap.  The Governor says he is not raising taxes, but he is increasing the fees on a whole bunch of things, like auto insurance, real estate transfers and sales taxes.   Then, he is counting on all of us to help, he wants extend the play time of Quick Draw Lottery games from 8 a day to 24 hours and liquor stores would be open seven days a week.   So to balance the budget, he wants us all to gamble more and drink more. And at the rate he's going, those may be the only things left to do.
