You may not like it, but this is the best politician in the world right now.
Within 6 months of being sworn in he has:
• Balanced a massive budget deficit.
• Produced the lowest murder rate in NYC history.
• Introduced a pilot program for free childcare.
• Has collected $100 million in fines from landlords for abhorrent living conditions.
- Lost ZERO billionaires!

@Its_Ciccio @greendragonhq @EricIdle NYC not having a culture of hipsters is fucking hilarious. The birthplace of hip-hop, doesn't have a culture of hipsters.
He's taxing the rich, and people elected him for it. If you don't like it, go elect someone else who will tax the working class more, and hope they win.

Mamdani is lying to you. He didn't turn a $12B budget deficit to $0.
Spark notes: He inflated the deficit by $8B compared to Adams, brought it back down, then closed the rest with one-off bailout funds from Kathy Hochul who's desperate for a win.
Funny thing is most of you morons believe it. The entire Democratic party is cheering a lie while "cooking" the books.
New York City has been LEGALLY REQUIRED to balance its budget every single year since 1975. State law. The Financial Emergency Act. Passed after the city almost went bankrupt and Gerald Ford told them to drop dead.
Mamdani's own budget message brags this is the 47th consecutive balanced budget. Bloomberg balanced. de Blasio balanced. Adams balanced. Giuliani balanced.
Crediting Mamdani for balancing the budget is like crediting a taxi driver for stopping at a red light.
Now the $12 billion. Adams left office with a projected FY27 gap of $4.69 billion.
So where did the extra eight billion come from?
Mamdani's own team. They walked in and moved hidden spending back onto the books: rental assistance, shelter ops, special ed reimbursements, NYPD overtime. Legit cleanup work.
Then they ran to a podium and called it a deficit they inherited.
They printed the number. Then they took credit for printing the number.
How did they "close" it? Half came from Albany. Hochul wrote a check: $8 billion in state aid over two years.
THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. HE DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING.
Mamdani's signature millionaire's tax? KILLED by Hochul.
Corporate rate hike? KILLED.
Free buses he ran on? KILLED.
CityFHEPS expansion he campaigned on? He's in court right now fighting it.
Then there's the pension trick.
$1.64 billion of the "savings" comes from extending pension amortization from 2032 to 2037.
The Citizens Budget Commission called it "a pension gimmick" that "balances this budget on the backs of future New Yorkers."
William Glasgall, Volcker Alliance, said it "creates a debt that's more expensive than muni bonds."
And the kicker.
The budget IS NOT ADOPTED. Council votes June 30. The state budget the whole thing depends on was still not enacted as of last week.
Out-year gaps under Mamdani's own numbers:
FY2028: $7.1 billion
FY2029: $8.5 billion
FY2030: $9.8 billion
The hole grew $5.4 billion in three months.
So the real headline. Hochul cut a check. Future workers eat the pension bill. The structural deficit is BIGGER than the day he walked in.
They didn't fix anything. They moved it.
The math: $4.69B real gap. $8B from Hochul. $1.64B pension can-kick. $25.9B in future gaps.
He didn't balance the books. But he's gambling your future and kicking the can down the road.
So maybe stop celebrating. But what do I know. Good luck.

@Ritchlynn_A @greendragonhq @EricIdle I don’t think you get it. You’re clearly not from here. What does hip hop have to do with this? Please stop. The people who elected him want FREE FREE FREE. You’re gonna find out the hard way very soon that this man is a disaster.

@Ritchlynn_A @greendragonhq @EricIdle You’re either too young or don’t grow up here to remember what this place was like

@Its_Ciccio @greendragonhq @EricIdle So you've explained how it's recovered it's budget, by getting back more money from what it gives to the state. Sounds like a win to me. NYC contributes more to the state budget.
You also mentioned crime, the congestion pricing, it's culture. How exactly has that been affected?

@Ritchlynn_A @greendragonhq @EricIdle Do you know why increased its income? Cus the dummy governor bailed him out…twice. You’re a doctor living in Manhattan go talk to people in the outer boroughs you know the real New Yorkers not transplants
English

@Its_Ciccio @greendragonhq @EricIdle Crime is down in the city, the city balanced it's budget, congestion pricing has decreased pollution and traffic in the city. The city also just increased its income, so I have no idea what you're talking about. You wanna prove your points with some facts?

@_bi_bitch Having a kid is the hardest most stressful thing in the world but it’s also the greatest. At that point it’s not about you anymore everything you do is for them.
