Comrade Mayor de Blasio.....
Not because both are congenital socialists....but based on policies, ignorance, and behavior!
1. "De Blasios policies are driving up the cost of living in New York
2. ...de Blasio, who seems to believe that money grows on trees and that making grand pronouncements is the same as doing real things.....de Blasio promises to drive a stake through the heart of inequality and make the city more affordable.
3. The local tab alone for his progressive vision is a whopping $13.6 billion, give or take. And where will that money come from? Open wide, dear taxpayer.
4. ....approach hangs on a contradiction: The city can spend its way to prosperity, and the resulting tax hikes wont spoil the party. But unless he can suspend the laws of economics,....
5. ...de Blasio is adding to the problems he claims to be solving. Government spending is a huge driver of the high cost of living .... The real trickle-down is that the cost of good intentions means higher prices....
6. He wants a rent freeze on rent-regulated apartments, but a report by a landlords group showed that owners costs rose 5.7 percent last year. The biggest contributor was a 5 percent hike in property taxes meaning the government raised the cost of housing.
a. ....every bodega pays property taxes, and when they go up, the owner eats the added taxes, lays off workers or raises the price of beer and potato chips. Ditto for shoemakers, doctors, drugstores and offices and apartment owners. They all pass along taxes to their customers, or they go out of business.
b. ....The New York Times credited his effort to subsidize more people by noting that rents climbed by 40 percent in the last 20 years. But government spending in the 12 Bloomberg years alone increased 57 percent above inflation!
7. To believe City Hall can ramp up its taxing and spending without also driving up the cost of private housing and pretty much everything else is to believe in magic, or to be economically illiterate.
Policies that sound good but ignore sound principles cannot deliver on their promises, no matter how much compassion fuels them.
8. ....a new mayor with no private business experience and a fondness for socialism, his determination to make government bigger, more expensive and more powerful carries considerable risk.
9. ....his ideas remain radical. Their practical incoherence will make it much more difficult to achieve even incremental gains in the standard of living for those of modest means.
10. For those successful businesses and families already nervous about his agenda, his spendthrift plans give them no comfort. He is shaping up to be the mayor they feared."

Bet you see what I see, too......
....there is nothing in this article about de Blasio that doesn't apply equally to Obama.
