In the lead-up to the 2024 election, CNN host Fareed Zakaria made headlines by suggesting that Biden should adopt Trump’s policies on immigration and the border.
He also tried to caution Democrats about facing the ‘reality’ of Joe Biden’s campaign, prior to Kamala Harris’ anointment, and that the declining candidate was “probably going to lose the election.”
Over the weekend, Zakaria called out Democrats for their ‘feckless’ approach to the Schumer Shutdown.
“The shutdown reinforced the image of the Democrats as feckless,” he began.
“They promise wonderful-sounding new programs, free childcare. But in fact, preside over bloated bureaucracies and inept execution.”
“If America has an affordability crisis, it tends to be in places Democrats govern, like New York, Illinois, and California, which all feature high taxes, soaring housing costs, and stagnant outcomes in basic areas like education and infrastructure.”
“Consider New York City, the country’s largest and most important metropolis. The mayor-elect wants to spend more money on shiny new programs, but surely it would be worth first asking, ‘What happened to the money already raised?’”
“In 2012, toward the end of Michael Bloomberg’s mayoralty, the city’s budget was about $65 billion. Today, it is about $116 billion, an increase of more than 75% in just over a decade.”
“Spending has soared while the subway deteriorates, housing costs rise, and public schools remain mediocre despite spending more than $36,000 per pupil last year, the highest in the nation among major school districts.”
“The result is a paradox that defines much of blue state America. Government that promises more, costs more, but delivers less.”
Watch:
Wow.
