Leave it to the Dems to not only create a massive mess, but to also propose an even more impractical solution for fixing a mess that should have never been created in the first place.
As reported by CBS News, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who was installed after the abrupt removal of former Governor Andrew Cuomo, is apparently self-aware enough to realize that even she may lose to a Republican in 2026.
So, her ghostwriters apparently decided it was a good idea for her to address rampant subway crime in her recent “State of the State” speech.
Naturally, Hochul addressed subway crime with a wildly impractical solution, not to mention an ironically hilarious solution, following the state’s longstanding negative attitude towards the police.
“I want to see uniformed police on the platforms, but more importantly, we will put an officer on every single train, overnight … over the next six months and the state will support these efforts financially,” Hochul declared.
That’s right: From 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Hochul is going to magically produce an officer on every single overnight train.
Never mind the fact hordes of law enforcement officers have left the state.
Never mind the fact that funding for new law enforcement officers has been completely gutted.
Never mind the fact that even if a police officer really was on a train overnight, the media would vilify him (or her) before it ever vilifies violent criminals.
Especially illegal violent criminals, the Dems’ apparent “base.”
As Hochul does not bother to factor these facts into her grand plans, she naturally continued to prattle on about other wildly costly, and largely ineffective, solutions.
For instance, Hochul proposed for LED lights to be installed at all subway stations, as if LED lights will scare off violent criminals.
The governor’s speech became even more ridiculous as she made absurd claims regarding her “fight” for families.
“My commitment to every New Yorker is this: your family is my fight … A home for your family, it means everything, and we did all this because your family deserves more money in their pockets, as well as a place that they can proudly call their home,” Hochul brayed.
Is that so?
Perhaps don’t tax everyone to smithereens then … especially when a huge percentage of those revenues to go illegals.
Perhaps don’t install an ultra-racist district attorney – Alvin Bragg – in Manhattan, where he further wasted taxpayer funds to “get Trump” while turning a blind eye to the real threats to society.
“Our state has to be livable, and the people here have to be able to afford to live in it,” Hochul nonsensically added.
Even more hilariously, Hochul proclaimed her intention to cut taxes, though New York already can’t afford its own operations with its current tax revenue.
“The tax cut I propose today, and will fight for in the coming months, will deliver the lowest tax rates in 70 years, and it will save hard-working taxpayers $1 billion … But in itself, it’s a monumental win for New Yorkers in the battle for affordability,” Hochul boomed.
In New York, the “middle class” apparently makes under $323,000 per year.
Even more ironically, they probably struggle even more than non-English speaking illegals. Who enjoy luxury hotels for free.
“Housing is the number one driver of our affordability crisis, and the only way to decrease housing costs is to increase supply. We need to build and build and build some more,” Hochul boomed.
Yes. And it will become even more unaffordable as long as taxpayers are subsidizing freebie-grubbing illegals.
Even the mainstream media admitted that Hochul had no real plan, which says quite a bit.
“Absent from the governor’s speech, however, was how this will all be paid for,” CBS wryly noted.
How funny. Considering that “the governor” could be replaced by literally any Democrat these days, from Comrade Kamala to Gruesome Newsom.
As both have demonstrably terrible financial management, an especially negative flaw when combined with their heinous arrogance towards the American public.
