Spending under Rudy`s reign as Mayor went up 35.6%, compared to the inflation rate of 22.2%. Rudy left NYCity with a projected, pre-9/11 deficit of $2.0 billion and an increased debt total topping $42-billion. ...

Yep! He's gonna get nailed on his fallacious claims. Good!

More fuel on the fire.

From the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (Edmund J. McMahon):

"The scope of government was not reduced at all. ..... money saved on social services has only helped to subsidize big increases in other categories. Today the array of social services sponsored and partially funded by the city—from day care to virtually guaranteed housing—is as wide as ever."

"In the final analysis, Mayor Giuliani sought to make the city deliver services more efficiently—not to make the city deliver fewer services. ..... the city instead failed to reduce spending."

"Even with the tax cuts of the last several years, New York remains by far the most heavily taxed big city in the country."
