‘Worst mayor ever!': De Blasio late again at St. Pat’s parade

“Out here we have a name for him: de Assio,” said Carol Jones, 63, a lifetime resident of Rockaway Park.

De Blasio hopes Obama’s Illegals will keep him in Power Forever

We've reached a point where "the economy" is totally separate from the economic well-being of about 90% of the population. Putting people back on welfare "to study for their GEDs" is merely a book-keeping move to in some way classify people the job market doesn't want or need.

So much of the population is becoming a cash crop for the elite, with less opportunity to move up. And too many seem to like it that way.

With Banks at the helm, the HRA launched a series of sweeping changes in its state-approved Biennial Employment Plan, including changing requirements for welfare recipients with kids younger than 4 years old. Recipients previously had to clock a 35-hour workweek to get their checks.

Since this is de Blasio's program ( or is it Wilhelm's?) he should be required to fund it. For years City libs have been expanding social programs they don't have money to pay for and the burden shifts Upstate. Watching our tax dollars flow to the southeast corner of the State with little or no benefit in return is beyond frustrating. It is a well-known fact that without the Big Apple and Albany, New York State would be considered fly over country.

The game is to hire navigators aka out-reach aka community organizers to go out and sign up the “under-served” community aka people who qualify for welfare, SNAP, etc but are too proud to ask for it.

The #1 frustration of the navigator is the person that is too proud. Hispanics who qualify for welfare, SNAP, etc but don’t take it are the most under-served group because they have that quaint concept that they only deserve it if they work for it.

The navigator is challenged to re-educate these under-served to their human rights.

Of course, the increase in welfare roles only proves the need for more navigators. Watch for the welfare-to-work programs that are really welfare-to-navigator programs.

The magnitude of the fail that is about to descend on NYC will make the disaster of Detroit look mild.

NYC deserves De Blasio the same way that the USA deserves Bambi.

Neither of them held a gun on the electorate.

De Blasio is so committed to the african american community,he has made it his number one goal to make David Dinkins look like a great mayor in comparison.

[attiladhun2]

Surely not worse than the feckless Dinkens.

I wonder if you even have to LIVE in NYC to get a welfare check?

I might sign up my cat.

The economy has improved?
