Spin? Let's see. from the article -
During and after the storm, in an effort to to help the most people in the worst trouble the fastest, the powers that be actually loosened their grip, allowing market efficiency to step in.
So while some governments respond to shortages and emergencies with nationalization and stricter controls, at a Friday press conference, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo revealed an unusual request: He had asked the federal government to relax the protectionist provisions of the Jones Act — an act that makes it so that only American vessels, crews and companies can transport goods between American ports — so that gas could reach the energy-starved region. The feds complied.
... Mr. Cuomo waived the docking taxes and registration process tankers typically have to endure when anchoring in New York Harbor.
Meanwhile, to increase the number of taxi drivers on the chaotic streets, the overseers of that heavily regulated industry relaxed the rules: ...
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that making it easier to complete a transaction will make it easier to complete a transaction, but damn if we weren’t surprised that the city that invented the Big Gulp ban figured that one out.
No, it doesn't take a genius but it does take other than a leftist. Now many leftists will say it's fine during an emergency (thank you so much), but want the controls back on ASAP. But, if it's good during an emergency because it's good business, why isn't it good otherwise? Simple. Leftists approve of government in everything. Makes them feel safer or whatever.
Later in the article regarding Christie getting cozy with Obama it says
If anyone doubts this for a second, take a look at the papers: A proud and responsible governor of a wealthy state, who is staunchly opposed to the president, needs the president to handle an issue because, well, the president holds the purse strings to a whole lot of his state’s cash.
Now leftists can call it right wing spin all they want, but the truth is when government gets out of the way things get done. Now I await all the denouncing that I, and righties, hate regulations, taxes, ... the usual leftist brainwashed 'talking points' shit. Not worth arguing, again, that same shit. The proof is right in front of you. And Sandy delivered it.
