Moynihan Warns NYC Faces Bankrupt Future
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned at a White House conference that New York City could go bankrupt within six to 30 months unless federal taxpayers underwrite its debts. He cited a $14 billion city debt and $82 billion in unfunded pension claims, plus $2.3 billion yearly interest costs. He blamed a self serving political culture and a welfare heavy system that shifted capital funds to current expenses and warned of looming cuts under President Carter's budget restraint. He noted federal relief once planned for three years amid hopes of a Democratic administration.
