How are you feeling on that?

I like that.

Emphasis on fighting inflation, hawkish leanings.

And criticism of mission creep at the central bank.

I mean, outside of saying, you know, I'm coming in, I'm shutting the whole Fed experiment down.

Not bad.

Not bad.

It will be.

I love your optimism.

You know, on the ideas, that's something that's been vacant for so long within the GOP.

Usually we get, you know, no new taxes or less spending, and then when they get in, you see none of that.

That's very common.

But those are the only big ideas.

This is the only time, when you look at foreign policy, geopolitics, everything, it has been a new idea, and that's when they usually come and attack you the most.

New York City faces a budget crisis of a historic magnitude.

We inherited a deficit larger than any since the Great Recession.

Years of mismanagement and chronic under budgeting.

True imbalance between what New York City sends to the state and what we receive in return have taken a toll.

We cannot close this deficit with savings alone.

We need new revenue.
