Mamdani decreased the projected budget gap of 12 billion left by mayor Adam’s to only 5.4 billion, less than half. Oh yeah. And he’s been mayor for four months. Proudly cleaning up YOUR fuck ups since January 1st 2026, baby.

5 billion of that decrease was due to Wall Street having an amazing year with their bonuses. Ya know, Wall Street, the prime example of capitalism and the free market bailing his ass out. He had nothing to do with the firms having a great year nor did he have anything to do with the tax code that was in place to tax those gains
