New York Governor Andrew Cuomo dared U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to pass a bill allowing states to seek bankruptcy, saying it would signal to the stock market and other countries that the economy is flailing.
“You want to send a signal to the markets that this nation is in real trouble? You want to send an international message the economy is in trouble? Do that,” Cuomo said Friday at a press briefing.
