Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s government grocery plan built on $140M math error: report

PM:
Socialist Zohran Mamdani‘s policy to have government-run grocery stores is based on an accounting error, according to a new report from the Washington Examiner.

According to the outlet, Mamdani’s claim that he will pay for publicly-funded grocery stores in New York City with subsidies that are already going to private grocery stores is based on the socialist’s misunderstanding of the tax breaks given to retail grocers in the New York, and the money he has said will pay for them is not available.

The Examiner reported, “Specifically, he wrongly believes that the city is spending $140 million to subsidize private grocery stores, and he thinks he can take half of that money and use it to build government groceries.” more

    It’s a get-out-the-vote thing. Its always a get-out-the-vote thing with Democrats. Now improved with Ranked Choice Votig.

  3. He can propose to save even more money by putting the gov’t-run grocery stores in the same buildings as the motor vehicle administration. Or public works – those guys you always see standing around a hole in the road leaning on shovels staring at it.
