After mismanaging the MTA for 10+ years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo would now like to mismanage it as Mayor.
.@andrewcuomo repeats that he would propose the city takes over the management of the MTA, which is run by the state.
"The MTA is too big to be able to manage the transit authority, effectively, let the mayor, manage the New York City Transit Authority," he says.

It is now being revealed that western journalism was being funded and propped up by the United States government in order to spread pro war neoliberal propaganda
Never forget it was Barack Obama who signed a national security order so the United States government can propagandize its own people
The “conspiracy theorists” were right once again

42% voted for neither.
Congress's approval rating has fluctuated between 11%-29% since 2005.
Americans know we are being liquidated by the 2-party carousel. We know collapse has been inevitable for decades.

“I think the real reasons [for prohibiting the Fed from directly purchasing treasuries] can be traced to certain Gov bond dealers who…had their eyes on business…lost to them if direct purchasing were permitted.”
