There you go again, blaming the nation’s fiscal crisis on hardworking city employees (“Bloomy’s Budget,” Editorial, Jan. 31).

Quit trying to punish middle-class citizens by taking away our hard-earned benefits and drastically increasing our cost of living.

Instead, you should be recommending that the billions of dollars now being wasted on banks buying planes and remodeling offices be better used by helping ordinary people, whom they have victimized, pay their bills.
