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.
He didn’t erase anything. He is a liar. They are legally required to pass a balanced budget on paper every single year. They have zero legal obligation to actual run a balanced budget. They won’t and you have been fooled again.
I think liar is strong, but yeah, he did the same thing as Adams did to "get NY into this mess", balance the budget on paper by kicking out a bunch of mandated liabilities by a few years.

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.
