OBAMA'S CRONY CAPITALISM De Blasio’s ratings sag. Can he make his liberal vision work as NYC mayor?

De Blasio’s ratings sag. Can he make his liberal vision work as NYC mayor?


WAS DE BLASIO’S BULL ON HOPE AND CHANGE WRITTEN BY WALL STREET CRIMINALS LIKE OBAMA’S LOOTING AGENDA???


On February 10, New York City’s new mayor, Democrat Bill de Blasio, gave his first State of the City speech. Two days later he presented his proposed budget for the 2015 fiscal year, which begins July 1. Both the speech and the budget starkly illustrate the contrast between his campaign rhetoric and reality—he has always represented the city’s financial-corporate elite.


 

De Blasio’s plans are carefully designed to satisfy the city’s corporate and financial establishment. When he presented his budget he said, “There is nothing mutually exclusive between being both fiscally responsible and economically progressive.” In translation, this means that workers and the poor can expect at most a few crumbs and a few gestures, while the needs of Wall Street are carefully attended to.
