What "balanced budget?" Mamdani got a massive bailout from the state of New York, and deferred pension payments.

It's classic third worldism, made possible by a low-information electorate that not only can't do the math, but lacks instinctual skepticism of the idea of a free lunch. Chicago went down the same path, and found that these gimmicks work until they don't.

A mayor who balanced the city’s budget.
