You'd have to build a wall around the city first to keep the chaos from spilling out. These big cities can't maintain the illusion of order without Federal money. The plan is that no matter how much debt they incur, it will eventually be monetized by the Federal reserve. You'll pay the resulting inflation tax.

Feel sorry for the good baws of NYC, but if you couldn't see the fast drift to socialism in that shite city, that's on you.

And we need to quit accepting migrant democratic locust fleeing the NE and upper MW. If you require public assistance, like half of those arriving since COVID, you're not welcome in FL.

I was wrong. Dead wrong.

Liberals will never get it, even when changes affect them in a positive way.

It’s obvious he wants the police to quit so he can then institute his policies

Mamdani raided NYC's retirement fund to give free childcare to illegals


As the clueless NYers will find out soon enough... free government stuff is expensive.

Oh OK...so he just told NYC he was about to do those things, then a week later told them part of that money will be to pay for free child care for illegals


So, I was correct. Thanks. You guys love your rage bait too. These are not new programs (the 3-K and pre-K programs stated in 2014 and 2017, respectively), and they have always been open to residents regardless of immigration status. Now, whether that is a good idea or not is a separate matter, but this isn’t some new Mamdani thing.

I thought that raid was going to reducing the budget deficit but instead, it goes to a higher operational cost. Go figure!

Why does Trump or anyone outside of NYC care? This is city funds. Let their political process decide it.

No need to get in the gutter with local politics. We have larger national issues the executive should be worrying about.

Besides, Trump invited Mamdani to the WH. I think he has a soft spot for NYC even if he won’t admit it.

Because the budget may be from city funds, but the overall budget includes federal money. So yeah, it's a big deal. I doubt they'd still do this if their federal money dried up and left a hole to fill.

Every shortfall is eventually somehow covered by Federal funds.

Also, cities getting Fed funds for other BS allows them to use their funds for this sort of stuff instead of making more budget friendly desicions.

Why would the President or anyone else care what happens in NYC? Really?
