Cuomo’s fiscal discipline isn’t right-wing—it’s reality. New York doesn’t have the luxury of Mamdani’s fantasy math where “fare-free transit” magically funds itself while he opposes congestion pricing and MTA reforms. Cuomo rebuilt bridges, airports, subways—actual infrastructure—while Mamdani peddles slogans as policy.

Socialism? Mamdani’s version is city-run grocery stores that collapse budgets and activist councils replacing cops. Cuomo delivered balanced budgets because adults don’t spend money they don’t have.

Mamdani’s DSA crew? They’d bankrupt the city by sunrise and call it “equity.” New York needs builders, not hashtag revolutionaries allergic to spreadsheets.
