You ARE aware of course that New York City has been run by socialists since 2002 right? Bloomberg ran as a Republican because it was politically expedient to avoid the Democrat Primary, but he did nothing "Republican" in nature quite the opposite actually. But you were saying?
So socialists are responsible for the richest city in the world? That's big of you to admit.

The US Senate are currently blocking an extension of unemployment benefits for long-term unemployed people. Hundreds of thousands of families ruined, divorces, people moving back in with their parents, sending kids to relatives, house foreclosures and so on. Unemployment caused by a deregulated banking system that fucked the economy. A banking system that the same US Senate has given trillions of dollars of free money to to paper over the fact that the banks are all bust. Everybody at the bottom of the pile is foreclosed and fucked and no help given to them but the guys at the top have so far seen trillions of dollars in welfare and zero prosecutions. Are you OK with that?
