Zohran Mamdani Proposes a Budget Larger Than the State of Florida

[Billiejeens]

Mr. Wonderful thinks it’s a wonderful idea.

Kevin O’Leary mockingly celebrated Big Apple Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s proposed 9.5% property tax hike Tuesday as “bat cuckoo crazy” that will win him “Real Estate Agent of the Year” in the near future.

“What he is proposing is beyond insane, but I love it. You guys live here, you’re not paying your fair share. You got to pay 110%, that’s the right thing to do because he’s not cutting spending,” O’Leary said on CNN’s “NewsNight.”

So one city in a state is just a bit shy of an entire state's GDP.

Do I have that correct?

If $500 BILLION is "just a bit shy" to you, that explains a lot about both your IQ and your math skills. LOL

Spolier: they both suck.

The new Mayor’s proposed budget requires that the state give the city billions of dollars. If the Governor says, “no,” then the new Mayor says he will have no choice but to raise property taxes.

And not one of the Democrap leaders seems capable of grasping what is to follow as a result of that move.

Many of us warned the NYC electorate about all of this. They COULD have avoided all of this …

So they get one choice, higher taxes. One through their state tax system if the socialist can make all of them pay or the other that the city residents have to pay. But either way you get to pay more it just depends on the shell game where your money is stolen.

This is what happens when you reach into hell and drag a 9-11 terrorist out and make him Mayor....
The city of NY is not going to survive that kind of stupidity...

Pretty impressive really...

Who back on 9/11/01 would have ever dreamed that NYC's reaction to being terror attacked would be to first elect a black muslim president and then to elect a muslim socialist to be their mayor.

The musilm with a shit-eating grin is crazy but he’s not stupid

He wont get the money, but libs in NY will give him credit for trying

Are we sure he’s not stupid?

 

[candycorn]

Despite having only one-third the population. It appears that the warmth of collectivism is rather expensive. Has he considered just not spending as much money?

NYC is all infrastructure. A third of Florida is swampland.

Give it some thought.

Really? An unknown guy waltzes right in and usurps the USA's financial center and largest city just hit by 9/11 25 years ago installing Sharia Law in his now established domain of Islam right in the heart of the USA right under the watchful noses of our erudite federal government, and you think he might just be stupid?

He is yet another carefully crafted and engineered pawn created of the same people who installed Barack Obumma.

They are playing the West right off their own arrogance plus our highly flawed legal system which cannot get out of its own way to save its own life.

We have the only legal system in the world so clever that everytime you try to fix a loophole or dam leak in it, it already has a law established blocking your legal pathway to doing it.

We can point out all the facts all we want, but in the end the left will just blame all their mistakes on Trump and the voters will believe them and continue voting for the neo-left politicians who are laser focused on how much corruption they can create for themselves and the party elite.

He is illogical

All islamo-communists are if they believe the bullshit they are spewing

So he has a screw loose somewhere

But he is clever enough on some level to be elected to the 2nd most important city in America

Perhaps it is worth pointing out here that for 150 years, the USA got along just fine with the federal government staying out of the way, allowing the free private market to steer and correct itself and it got along just fine.

Then the Fed got involved in directly manipulating the markets through active involvement with banks, savings and loans, financial institutions, creation of the Federal Reserve and much more and the first immediate result of government imposing itself as admiral of the USS America's economy was the Great Depression, and we have been on rocky and inflationary ground ever since.

Take you own advice

NYC is a den of lib thieves and wasteful spending

Mamdani will probably steal a trillion dollars for Mohammed before he leaves office, and make the Somali’s look like amateurs

Mostly true, but there were some really bad patches, like the Robber Barons. One of humanity's biggest failures is not creating a monetary system that can't be corrupted and used to abuse a free market system. Remember, he who controls the money controls the world.

I'm only paying limited attention to this thing, but from the outside it sure does look like it's flaming out even more quickly than I expected. What he promised can't happen.

Seems to me that what we're seeing right now is the predictable result, when a country slides into all-or-nothing tribalism. We deserve the chaos and instability we're getting.

NYC will have millions of Learing Centers and will become the Learing Center capital of the world. Miami will become the financial center of the world.

This is ass backwards. There is no problem too large for government to create. The government is not in the business of solving problems, it is in the business of creating bigger problems. I know this is a hard truth to swallow, but the people must start to realize that the government is not your friend. It is not your parents. It is organized crime.

So, what is your solution? Let me guess, all of MAGA must convert to neo-leftists. That will fix everything. As soon as there is no opposition to the neo-left America will become a progressive paradise. At some point you must realize that also you are a tribalist and support the progressives just to never support Trump. But you neo-leftists will never consider the possibility that Trump may not be the problem with the US government, and the neo-left just may be the problem with it. Here's a helpful hint to all who are not tribalists: If the government hates a certain politician and encourages the entire nation through corrupt journalism to hate that person, that person just may be the antidote to the corrupt government. Whether it be Bernie Sanders or Trump, if they are sick of the US government and want to drain the swamp, I say let them try.

At least you folks are consistent in your arrogant ignorance of my politics.

Play with someone else, thanks.

Florida probably should have more money budgeted.

Austerity is not a good thing, and neither is DeSantis.

But since I don't live in New York and none of you do, why has this thread been created?

And why is a Canadian who lives in a nation with socialized services running his mouth about this?

I wonder if you feel the same when Dragonlady posts?

You're missing the forrest for the trees and your attempt to come across strong has sorely failed.
