NYC Woke Mayor Eric Adams: I'll Slash NYC's Budget by 15% Unless Biden Sends Me More Billions to Deal With His Open Borders Migration Mess

How do you get a Democrat politician's attention?

Start threatening to actually cut your budgets. Then they'll know you're serious.

Unfortunately, as Rick Moran note, this threat is probably not serious.

It's like someone telling you in advance they're going to commit suicide. They want you to stop them.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that because of the huge influx of asylum seekers into the city and the lack of help from Albany and Washington, he's been forced to ask for a 5% reduction in spending from all city departments. And if no help is forthcoming, he says he'll have to ask for another 5% reduction in January and another 5% next March.

Adams says the migrants will cost the city up to $12 billion over the next three years. Without state and federal funds, they will "destroy New York City," he proclaimed earlier in the week.

Frankly, it's hard to tell if Adams is just trying to put pressure on his friend Joe Biden and his enemy Gov. Kathy Hochul, or if he's serious about cutting billions in city services.

"The simple truth is that longtime New Yorkers and asylum-seekers will feel these potential cuts," the mayor said in a pre-recorded message. "And they will hurt."
