Well they finally did it. They put an outright Marxist into the mayor’s office of the largest city in America. Now I know that he denies he’s a Communist and his brain dead libbie base obediently follows his lead ( with a wink and nod of their collective bobble heads) . He’s a DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST, darn it, NOT A COMMUNIST! Despite the fact that he has admitted the end goal is the seizure of the means of production, the creation of government run stores and the abolition of private property ownership. All things right out of the Communist playbook. He just appointed Cea Weaver as the director of the mayor’s office to protect tenants. The Marxist moron is on record of declaring her disdain for private property ownership and that people are going to have a “new relationship” with private property and that the benefits should go to benefit the collective rather than individuals.Now I know that you Libs know that the seizure of private is never actually going to happen as envisioned by your beloved, benevolent, big brother, but that’s not the point. The point is, you put him in office, so you support the view whether it comes to fruition or not. So the question is: If Mamcommie and company actually got his desire, who would pay the taxes on this “collective” owned property and how would your communist utopia be funded if you’re not collecting property tax? Wouldn’t you really be killing the proverbial goose that laid your golden eggs?
If only we could build the big beautiful wall around the lib cities so they were forced to live with what they vote for rather than spreading like a virus.
This is exactly why schools barely teach history anymore. To Gen Z, these all look like wonderful brand new ideas. They were never taught the misery these ideas have caused over generations. Failing every time.
Then we also keep the lib money behind those walls. Most Red states would fold.
Not exactly. Nearly every lib run city and state is in massive debt. The lib money is in the form of a maxed out credit card. We would actually make money.
Yes exactly. Blue states provide welfare to red states.
Red states would be fine.
We have a balanced budget here every year.
We would have a balanced budget even if lib states disappear.
We would just cut spending if need be.
An idea foreign to Greasy Gavin Newscum.
an inconvenient fact.

If you mean that all red states run balanced budgets, i am not sure thats true. Interesting analysis by Grok:
No, red states (Republican-controlled or leaning states) do not always run a balanced budget each year, though they generally adhere to legal requirements like most U.S. states.
State Balanced Budget Requirements
All U.S. states except Vermont have some form of balanced budget requirement (BBR), typically constitutional or statutory. These rules vary in strength:
- Most require the governor to propose a balanced budget.
- Many mandate the legislature to pass one.
- Some prohibit carrying over deficits into the next fiscal year.
These primarily apply to operating budgets (day-to-day spending), excluding capital projects (e.g., infrastructure, often funded by bonds) and certain funds like pensions. States can use accounting maneuvers, rainy-day funds, or mid-year adjustments to comply without true fiscal balance.
In practice, states—including red ones—must end fiscal years without operating deficits, but projected shortfalls can emerge due to revenue shortfalls, spending pressures, or economic changes.
Red States and Budget Performance
“Red states” typically refer to those with Republican trifectas (control of governorship and both legislative chambers) or consistent Republican voting. As of 2025, there are about 23 Republican trifectas (e.g., Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming).
Many red states maintain strong fiscal positions (e.g., surpluses in Idaho, Utah, Tennessee), often citing conservative policies. However, others face deficits or shortfalls:
- West Virginia → Entered 2025 with a $400 million shortfall, linked to population decline and tax cuts.
- Idaho → Revenues fell below forecasts in 2025 due to tax cuts.
- Florida and Texas → Generally strong, but projections show potential future gaps if trends continue.
Recent examples (2023–2025) of states facing shortfalls include both parties (e.g., blue California had massive deficits), but red states like Arizona (post-tax cuts) and Alaska have also struggled.
Key Takeaways
BBRs enforce balance on paper for nearly all states, red or blue. Red states do not uniquely or always achieve perfect balance without challenges—economic factors, policy choices (e.g., tax cuts), and external shocks affect them similarly. No state “always” runs perfectly balanced in reality, as adjustments are common. Claims of red states’ superior fiscal discipline are mixed; some excel, but others rely on federal aid or face gaps like blue states.
Tenn actually does a great job balancing its budget and having a rainy day fund and cutting taxes. Not sure what their federal take it but it doesn’t matter they to manage money well what effect that has on things like education etc i don’t know
lol. its extremely ironic. my wife used to hate when i would go on a rant after watching Chris Christie re-election ads stating “i balanced the budget for 4 straight years” suggesting the a democratic party governorcould not do what he did.
New Jersey state law is very clear. Budgets must be balanced every year. governor murphy himself balanced 8 straights budgets.

Lol you made that up.
It’s not about state or city deficits. It’s about how much money is given to the fed by blue states that is then given as handouts to red states.
You would starve while counting all your cash. It amazes me every time some idiot posts this stupid trash.
Still posting that lie i see.
Hope you enjoy eating all that cash. Becayse your big blue anthills dont grow much.
No its about what the federal money funds in the red states.
All that federal land, all those federal parks you progs like to swarm to, all those military bases.
Helps when people are honest and post the whole truth.
Starve? How so? I live in California.
NYC GDP was 990,000,000,000 in 2002.
has increased nicely in the past 23 years
