“We’ll get up to the end, my guess will be, and just before the cliff, they’ll figure out a way to kick the can down the road,” the New York mayor said on Morning Joe.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg slammed Congress for being unaccountable, unproductive, and unwilling to compromise as the government entered week two of a shutdown.
“We’ll get up to the end, my guess will be, and just before the cliff, they’ll figure out a way to kick the can down the road,” the New York mayor said on Morning Joe.
“Mayors have to deliver services. Congress, federal governments, state governments don’t. They reallocate funds and they’re never held accountable for any specific thing,” he said. “And you take a look at the charade that’s happening in Washington. Yes, they shut down the government, except they’re rehiring everyone for the Defense Department, everybody’s gonna get paid, so all they really shut down is the revenue side for the government, they didn’t shut down the expense side for the government.”
The retiring mayor of New York is reportedly spending $1 million on advertising, though, to support one congressional hopeful: Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who is currently running for U.S. Senate in New Jersey.
