Cuomo and Zoran would actually increase it.

I would take $10 billion right out of the Department of Education, which is all being spent on the bureaucracy, start cutting the Department of Buildings, and get fiscally reliant on people like Larry Kudlow, who's my advisor, George Pataki, who did that as governor, and then Rudy Giuliani, who is the best law and order mayor we've ever had in the city of New York.

Well, the benefit of my life is that I spent 13 years raising two boys with Melinda Katz, who was a city council person for 12 years, head of land use.

You go into the district.

They beat you up.

You meet with the staff because the staff does all the work.

Remember, the elected officials.

Because the electeds are always dialing for dollars, shaking people down for political contributions.

And then you say, I just want one vote from you.

And I get you your discretionary funds.

You're looking for a new playground.

You're looking for capital improvements.
