I never see the Times come out and say that New York State and City can no longer be the social services center for the world. $10 billion and realistically more spent each year by this city and state providing services to those who are not American citizens, and a great deal of them here illegally. Common sense has left government and the editorial pages of the Times, all the more reason it too will go the route of Lehman and Bear Stearns.
