I'm not saying democrats would/will spend less, but please to say that modern republicans are any less of a spender than democrats is pretty ridiculous.
That is a separate argument, and a fair one. This issue, however, is about the New York budgetary issues and not the federal budgetary issues. New York is pretty Democrat. New York has had a Democratic governor every year since 1982 aside from 2005-2006. The state legislator has been split pretty evenly though.
