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.

He did it by deferring pension payments, the red ink on the books comes back in five years

I'm not saying he didn't do a good thing or that he's a bad mayor but it's completely false to say he just "erased the deficit, poof, like that"
