Democrats, or socialists/communists, cut taxes to deal with a budget deficit? Not on this planet. Gooder and Harder, NYC: Mamdani's Plan to 'Nickel & Dime' You to Death
It seems so long ago and far away [Steve, it was maybe last month —Editor] that New York City's Democratic Socialist Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, promised residents everything from free bus rides to universal child care to free groceries — because you just know that nobody was going to prosecute shoplifters at Mamdani's crony-run grocery stores.
Now, as the New York Post put it late Tuesday, comes the bill that will "nickel-and-dime New Yorkers with hidden fee hikes" to pay for all the free stuff that Mamdani won't actually, you know, deliver at all.
There is no money for free bus rides, extra health care for kids, or anything else Mamdani promised to get elected.
I'm old enough to remember the old Democratic Party. "Ask not what your country can do for you..." has morphed into "Free Stuff!" (OK, so I don't remember Kennedy. I did learn about him in school.)
The biggest belly laugh was when Mamdani promised $368 million in savings from “improving the efficiency of public services” and another $947 million by merely "improving our financial management, claiming revenue that the city is owed, and accurately estimating expenses."
Oh yeah. That'll work!
How can one city spend so much money, and still not work?
