Congratulations on kicking the can down the road.
The Mayor’s deficit closing relies primarily on a huge bailout from Albany ($8b over 2 years) and delayed payments like pension costs which just get stretched farther into the future
Important read. States are labs of democracy. CA has embarked on a path already causing massive harm to the state & all its citizens - and threatens to get alot worse. But there is time to correct course. That time is now. 🇺🇸
David Friedberg: Charlie Kirk’s effectiveness made him a cultural threat to his opponents
“He was too smart, too open, too honest, too willing to engage in discourse, too willing to debate.”
“He was too effective in changing people's minds, and I think that's why he became such a cultural threat.”
“It wasn't his controversy, it was his effectiveness.”
“And it wasn't necessarily the things he said, because there are people out there who say far more controversial things than Charlie."
"It's that he sounded sensible and he changed people's minds through his discourse.”
“And as he changed people's minds, I think he became a real threat to the ideologies that he spoke up against.”
“One of the things that we've seen is the power of going direct. He went to college campuses, but he also recorded it and put it on the internet, and millions of people saw it.”
“And that new form of media, that new form of communication, where someone can actually have a town square, the internet, that they can stand out and speak their mind and be heard.”
“There's no longer these filters and these controlling powers of influence that decide what we get to know and not know and what our opinions need to be.”
“The media and the traditional kind of systems are being degraded.”
“I think it's important to continue that.”
“But since that time, I think it's been amazing to see the optimism, not just from one side, but from a lot of different people from different backgrounds standing up and saying discourse is so important and re-underwriting this American process.”
“So I'm very sad, but I'm very hopeful that people take this as a sign of how important this discourse is.”
“The answer to socialism is more capitalism - and the Invest America Act IS more capitalism Mr. President. It makes every child a capitalist from birth sharing in the upside of America.” Worried about what just happened in NYC? Help is on the way! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🚀@InvestAmerica24
