Must have had something in his coffee.
Watch him acknowledge that blue states are driving the affordability crisis.
If America has an affordability
crisis,
it tends to be in places Democrats govern like New York, Illinois and California,
which all feature high taxes,
soaring housing costs and stagnant outcomes in basic areas like education and infrastructure.
Whoa, CNN viewers must have been shocked. And then he doubles down with specific examples even.
The mayor elect wants to spend more money on shiny new programs,
but surely it would be worth first asking
what happened to the money already raised?
Spending has soared while the subway deteriorates,
housing costs rise, and public schools remain mediocre,
despite spending more than $36, 000
per pupil last year, the highest in the nation among major school districts.
The result is a paradox that defines much of blue state America.
Government that promises more, costs more, but delivers less.
