"Reign in city spending but cutting federal funding "
Yes. There are no contradictions here. Both Federal and City spending needs to be cut.
I find it puzzling that you find any of this puzzling. When people say cut government waste, that is exactly what they mean, not simply shifting funds between various government levels or agencies.
When people say you should stop spending so much money, do you cut out movie tickets only to buy Disneyland tickets? No, you cut both.

You can't seriously say youre for fiscal responsibility and support this president and his trillion dollar deficit.
A commenter in the Connecticut forum summed it up perfectly .

Asking state and local officials to enforce policy changes and federal laws using their own manpower/material/resources, and then taking away funding not established in law for non-compliance is not a great turn of affairs.
It's a pretty expansive broadening of executive power, and for an issue that is more emotionally based than facts based.
You must be very young. For as long as I can remember many presidents have increased the federal budget.
If your parents hand you a credit card with 25k in debt, you will wind up spending more than they have simply based on interest. And if you hand your children the same credit card with let’s say now 50k of debt, your kids will “spend” more than you have. It’s simply how the banking system works.
Keep in mind Trump does not take in a salary but donates it back to government.
The real problem is our currency, which is based on basically nothing but ties to opec. China- on the other hand, is creating a currency based on gold and crypto currency. Once they succeed and finish their new currency, you will see how the American economy will collapse ala Weimar Republic. And guess what? It will not matter who’s president. The financial problems that we have today have stemmed from a long time ago.
But of course, you will see many people blame Trump, because like you - they have been duped by the media.
In that case, a little more dough shouldn't hurt too much. NYC politicians seem to be running wild to spend more and more money on and to welcome illegal immigrants into the city (while, for instance, stating that Puerto Rican US citizen hurricane victims shouldn't come to the city if they "didn't have family" in the city . . . don't believe me? Here is the source per de Bozo's mouth itself: https://www.city-data.com/forum/poli...ts-over-u.html). Surely, spending some money to conduct a something that some politicians claim is a life or death situation should be an easy decision for NYC.
How did you find your way into that leap of logic?
If you're worried about climate change you should stay off anywhere at sea level such as Manhattan. Eventually another Super Storm Sandy will strike again and if the timing is right it will send another huge wave of water into the subways.
A seawall is not gonna do any good in the long run the ocean will rise and the area will be underwater.
I don't think the point is what we should do individually. I think the points are that climate change will, one way or another, affect everyone, and the Trump is behaving with lordly, petty malice.
Hurricane Sandy occurred in 2012. Why didn’t Obama do anything when he was president? What studies did he fund?
You ... Don't think this has been an ongoing effort since then? Really?
