Get ready to see a new Liberal fiasco in New York. They can't stand it because Giuliani cleaned it up and made it much safer to walk the streets. Now the liberals are going to try and tear out what he did and return it to their utopia.

foxnews.com

NEW YORK CITY — It passed a resolution against the war in Iraq, has called for a living wage $3 above the federal minimum wage and has sought tax hikes higher than what Mayor Michael Bloomberg has requested.

...Among efforts to roll back Giuliani's work, the council is considering a law to reform welfare-to-work to allow education or job training to substitute for work. That reverses Giuliani's approach, which led to the decline from more than 1 million to under 500,000 welfare rolls.

...The board is also considering strengthening the citizen complaint board against the police, accused of being racially insensitive, and giving itself veto power over mayoral appointments.

HAHAHAHAH!!! Read this and you will understand exactly what runs through the liberal mind:

Malanga said racial demagoguery aside, the new council has it in for the business community without realizing the impact on the average resident. For instance, the living wage increase was justified by council members who said that low-wage workers needed the extra money to pay for a property-tax increase the council had recently approved.

Can you believe it?! Only a liberal.

I agree that - more often than not - the Fed's attempts to 'manage the economic cycle' by manipulating monetary policies has failed... and produced serious adverse effects.

It's an old argument, but still true, the best Fed policy is to maintain a stable money supply... not to jerk it around in wild swings in a futile attempt to 'manage' things.
