The New York shell game. Keep your eye on the pea. This is as ridiculous as the time the state sold itself Attica State Prison in 1990.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
Irresponsible Debt. The sale of Attica prison is a case study in the irresponsible use of debt. The State borrowed $200 million to sell the prison to itself in 1990 and used the funds for operating expenses. Since 1990, the State has paid $242 million in debt service on the Attica debt, but due to refinancings, it still owes over $300 million in principal and interest. So the total cost of providing $200 million in one-shot budget relief in 1990 will be at least $565 million, assuming the debt is not refinanced again.


I stopped voting when I stopped taking drugs. I believe both of those acts are closely related to delusional behavior. *George Carlin*
I'm really beginning to feel like George.
