Houston Mayor John Whitmire says city is 'broke' after decades of overspending that has stopped them from being able to pay firefighters

Mayor John Whitmire proposing a 5% cut across the board, except for fire and police departments
Tax hikes and increased fees for parking and city services are likely

John Whitmire, who was elected in December, gave the bleak warning at a City Hill meeting this week where he proposed a five percent cut across all city spending to alleviate the cash-flow problem.

'I think we can all agree that we're broke,' Whitmire said, before proposing the planned cuts.

'This gives us a chance to discuss the financial picture of this City. It is broken! It was broken when I got here, ' he said.

Houston has had Seven Mayors since 1992. Thankfully they have all been Democrat

Both parties overspend. I think the one difference between Rep and Dems are that republicans tend to put that money towards businesses and things that help business grow, and while many criticise that they are funneling money to the rich, the economic outcome is that there is more wealth and it seems there is a high return on that money. Democrats like to spend money on programs that don't actually have any real return such as parks and improving the hood while enriching public sector workers. As well, democrats tend to make things go up in price and that's why although blue areas tend to have more money flowing around, things are so much more expensive it reverses the outcome.

Remember in the 80s, when people thought the future would be like the Jetsons? And now it's more like A Clockwork Orange, or even Mad Max?

Now, you have one major US political party saying that men can be pregnant, that children should be allowed to mutilate their genitals before they've reached puberty, that giving the government more money and eating bugs will change the weather, and that a traditional mother/father household unit is white supremacy.
