Gov. Cuomo — who successfully slashed spending and blocked tax hikes in New York — yesterday tepidly backed President Obama’s plan to boost federal taxes by $1 trillion as part of a debt-limit deal.

“I tend to agree with the president’s position,” Cuomo said

But he said it was more important for the White House and Congress to reach a deal fast to maintain “stability” and “confidence” in the financial markets.

Mayor Bloomberg, without taking a side in the budget battle, agreed. “America’s good name and credit are just too important to be held hostage to Washington gridlock,” he said.
