De Blasio Plants Flag Left of Andrew Gillum — Claims the ‘Wrong People’ Have All the Money
13th January 2019
Time once again to thank God you don’t live in New York City.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio defended his plan to provide health care to all New Yorkers — including illegal immigrants — on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper. He stopped short of explaining exactly how he planned to offset the cost, saying only that the “wrong people” had all the money and he planned to correct that.
Once again, talking past the sale. Tapper takes quite a while to work his way around to asking why these are ‘the wrong people’, but it’s astonishing that a CNN ‘journalist’ even heads in that direction.
Tapper opened the segment by quoting Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum — who had proposed a similar plan for his state, but noted that unless other states joined the program, it would be financially impossible. “He was saying in Florida they could do it only if other states joined him because otherwise, all sick people would just come to Florida,” Tapper explained.
Shock! It would appear that Gillum has at least two brain cells to rub together. How did that happen?
“What’s to stop sick people from flocking to New York and overburdening the system?”
De Blasio shrugged off the question, saying, “I don’t see that happening.”
It would appear that DeBlasio does not. No surprises there.
He concluded by blaming politicians starting with Republican President Ronald Reagan who, through tax policy and other policies, had implemented a “systematic agenda to take that money and put it more and more in the hands of the few.”
Here we see the consistent Democrat belief that any money belongs of right to the government and that it wound up in the ‘hands of the few’ because — what? They snuck around and scooped it up while Democrats weren’t looking?
