Called it last week in our documentary: https://youtu.be/ER03Z_WBfV8?si=zJgD_UMpaMJqZpL4

NYC spends $81,000/yr per homeless person.

Each NYC taxpayer owes $61,700 towards unfunded pensions.

Yikes.

He can in the first instance, cancel all of his desired spending programs like free buses, city run groceries and freeze on rental properties.

But he won’t. His only other option is a state and federal government bailout or go into more debt, or risk more tax payers fleeing the city by increasing taxes.

I can’t see any other option.

During King and Queen visit: “We’re a little like Britain. But here with Mamdani we have one royal pain in the ass.” (satire)

Mamdani continued:

Now....about affordability...I'm coming to your aid. I will open 5 supermarkets for 8 million people. You'll be fine.

Mamdani is going to try to raise taxes and fees of all sorts. As you noted, that will cause taxpayers who can flee, to flee.

But here’s one thing about socialists. They never consider the long-term effects of their destructive ideas. It’s always full speed ahead, right off the cliff.

Isn't socialism great.... the only solution is to TAX the people for more funds, not to CUT your frick'n spending!

Now he can declare imminent domain, or the like, to appropriate properties making the city the owner. All part of the scheme to communism

The state hasn’t got the money.

And at least one Upstate major metro is also demanding a bailout.

But it will be federal.

And if a Deep State controlled Congress overrides the president’s veto, NYS will be the first, but it won’t be the last.

This is what it looks like when you run out of other people’s money.

King should say: “I would consider your proposal except for the fact we are now standing on stolen land. No deal is legal here.”

Funny how Democrats always want more money to solve the over-spending problems. Anyone else see the irony there?

“Tax the rich” - the solution to everything - so what’s the problem?
