The Coat of the Gift and the General Assembly Debt

A chaotic column criticizes the General Assembly and the Bush era budget. It argues for frugal appropriations to reduce deficits, condemns excess spending on officers and mileage, and questions wartime and federal expenditures. The piece laments fiscal policy and questions political leadership and election strategy. It references the New York Treasury, the Republican party, and President Wheeler with broad partisan critique.
