Andrew Yang rips de Blasio’s ‘irresponsible’ spending — but offers no alternative

Mayoral contender Andrew Yang on Thursday complained in broad terms about Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “irresponsible” budget spending — but offered no specifics about how the city can rein it in.

“I think it’s irresponsible what Bill de Blasio is doing with our budget. He’s setting us up to fail,” Yang said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” when asked about his preferred method of balancing the Big Apple’s budget. “Any common-sense manager would be looking at the situation and would be trying to say, ‘We should smooth that out and reduce that deficit in 2023.'”
