San Francisco Mayor London Breed has done the Dems in the Sh!tty by the Bay a solid without meaning to. She has exposed her Party for what it is. They will over-promise. They will run out of other people’s money. Things will have to be cut.
In this instance, no actual promised funding was stopped. Not one dime was ever paid out. But the pols running San Francisco into a ditch overpromised, as usual. They made a lot of noise about taking money from people who had never owned slaves and giving it to people who never were slaves. The city would take some of that to pay for shipping and handling fees to enrich a few reliable bureaucrats and pretend to have undone an injustice.
That, however, is the entire Democrat program in a nutshell. Take from people who did something and use it to buy votes from people their party incapacitated in some form or other. And then leave them hanging.
Mayor Breed’s reversal on reparations is not the first time that San Francisco’s progressive promises have been forced to yield to reality.
Last year, she increased funding for police, after first saying she would defund the police to the tune of $120 million. Earlier this year, San Francisco repealed a travel and contracting ban on conservative states, after officials revealed it was costing the city money without any impact on social policies in Republican-governed jurisdictions.
Breed’s dissolution of the office or reparations is a thumbnail sketch. Whatever it is, it either doesn’t work or it will stop working because it is unsustainable. When the budget cuts hit the balance sheet, the only thing they will protect is themselves, even as the vestigial offices they erected necessarily wither and die.
City Hall will be the last thing standing, which just makes it easier for jilted victims of Democrat lies to find everyone responsible.
