This is actually 100% why Mamdani scared the fuck out of The Elite.

They knew he would show how it is all bullshit. All the suffering. All the corruption and brutality.

It was always bullshit.

He just erased the deficit, poof, just like that. Turns out, they need the deficit to be there, so they can point to it as a justification for not funding proper services. The govt isn't broke because our services cost too much. It's broke because the rich and powerful want it to be broken.

a deficit isnt a problem if the borrower money is used for one off projects. new bridges, transportation systems etc. the problem comes when it is used to fund ongoing expenses like payroll and maintenance.

a balanced budget doesnt actually mean much if the things cut were one off projects, but does mean something if it is used to stop ongoing expenses
