New York City socialist and anti-Zionist Mayor Zohran "Smiley" Mamdani claimed he will close the city's budget deficit without cutting services. Just like his 'free buses' claim before he got elected, this too was a lie.
Mamdani "closed" the deficit by holding back the city's pension payments while taking a bailout from Albany. This wasn't 'taxing the rich,' it was taking the money from hard working New Yorkers.
His cuts to veterans' services, however, was the most disgusting of all, including events like parades. We veterans called it a "slap in the face," and it shows where the guy's priorities lie: to the Communist agenda.
We're talking a planned cut of a million dollars from veteran services and events like a ticker-tape parade for former military men and women, that we learned about on Wednesday.
If comrade Mamdani's budget goes through, it would be reduced by about $7.6 million in fiscal year 2026 adopted budget to $6.6 million in his 2027 budget he disclosed Tuesday, a reduction of more than 13%, according to city records.
Service-disabled Marine Corps veteran Osbert Orduna referred to the move “a slap in the face” to veterans, especially those living with visible and invisible wounds of war.
This makes perfect sense, of course. Democrats and socialists like Mamdani hate America, and they certainly despise the men and women who sacrificed to protect our nation and the world. In fact, many of them seem to be rooting for Iran to win the war with us.
"There will be endless billions for progressive nonprofits to 'organize' on behalf of the DSA and for useless pet projects and leftist special interests, but our veterans get less in the annual budget than we spend to build a single public toilet. It's a disgrace," Paladino wrote. "My district has the largest number of veterans per capita in the entire city, and my district office hosts the first and only veteran resource center in New York. I meet these men and women every day and my office tries to do everything we can for them, but we're already operating on a shoestring and it's heartbreaking to think we're going to have even less to offer them."
Bronx borough president Vanessa L. Gibson said they will be advocating for a restoration of these funds in the final budget.
"It’s insulting to cut any resources and programs from our veterans and military families for their service and sacrifice to this Nation. I hope this can be reversed," Gibson wrote on X.
