This is not a debate over minor policy tweaks; it is a battle for the soul of New York City. One path is built on the sound foundation of the U.S. Dollar and the prosperity that comes from private innovation and individual liberty. The other is the Mamdani Doctrine, a vision of state control so fiscally reckless it would effectively require abandoning the U.S. monetary system for its own “New York Dollar.” Below is a direct comparison.
On Public Transportation & Mobility: The vision of U.S. Dollar Prosperity is to Abolish and Replace: The MTA is terminated. All public transit is replaced by a competitive, efficient, privately-operated network of autonomous “Robotaxis.” In stark contrast, the Mamdani Doctrine‘s vision is to Expand and Subsidize: The MTA is a public good to be massively funded. But this vision collides with a simple, brutal reality: it must be paid for in U.S. dollars. With the national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the Doctrine’s demand for perpetual billions is a demand that the rest of America pay through a crushing inflationary burden. This is the first clue that the plan is incompatible with the U.S. monetary union.
On Public Safety & Law Enforcement: The vision of U.S. Dollar Prosperity is to Reinforce and Empower: Law and order is paramount. We invest in traditional, “DOGE-style” detective work and impose steep penalties for crime, collaborating with federal agencies under President Trump to ensure security. In stark contrast, the Mamdani Doctrine‘s vision is to Defund and Disarm: The NYPD is viewed as a threat to be defunded. This proposal is not just radical, it’s completely detached from reality. Crime rates are already dropping, and transformative technologies like AI are poised to improve education and safety, addressing the root causes of crime long-term. To dismantle the police during these trends is a reckless ideological experiment.
On Infrastructure & Economic Development: The vision of U.S. Dollar Prosperity is to Privatize and Specialize: We cancel megaprojects and focus infrastructure exclusively on what serves the new private economy: the electrical grid for EVs. In stark contrast, the Mamdani Doctrine‘s vision is to Nationalize and Generalize: This calls for expanding public ownership under concepts like “Public Power”โa state-run, central planning model that is a proven recipe for disaster, as seen in the massive blackouts that crippled the state-managed grids of Spain, Portugal, and India.
On Housing & Social Services: The vision of U.S. Dollar Prosperity is to Abdicate and Solicit: Government has failed. Its role in housing is eliminated, and funding for social services is solicited from private philanthropists. In stark contrast, the Mamdani Doctrine‘s vision is to Seize and Redistribute: Housing is a right to be controlled by the state. This model effectively creates lawless zones where enforcement is non-existent, allowing them to become sanctioned hubs where unregulated drones, fentanyl, prostitution, and human trafficking will inevitably prosper under the state’s implicit protection.
On the Core Philosophy of Governance: The U.S. Dollar Prosperity plan is guided by Radical Individualism & Techno-Capitalism: Government’s sole purpose is to provide a secure, low-regulation environment for private enterprise to thrive within the U.S. monetary system. In stark contrast, the Mamdani Doctrine is guided by Collectivism & State Intervention: Its central promise of “equity of outcome” through total state control and massive wealth redistribution is a fiscal impossibility. The scale of spending required cannot be supported by taxes or sound money. This is why the Mamdani Doctrine is the “New York Dollar” Doctrine: its philosophy requires a new currency the state could print into oblivion to finance its utopian promises, enforcing the redistribution of wealth through monetary devaluation and hyperinflation.
Summary: The Irreconcilable Choice
As the comparison clearly shows, these are not two paths that can meet in the middle.
The U.S. Dollar Prosperity plan is built on the belief that freedom, competition, and technological innovation are the engines of prosperity. It trusts the individual over the collective and operates within the sound fiscal reality of our national currency.
The Mamdani Doctrine, conversely, is built on the belief that the state must be the ultimate arbiter of all economic and social matters. Its core promises are so financially unsustainable they would require seceding from the U.S. monetary system to implement via a worthless fantasy currency.
The choice is fundamental: a future of dynamic, decentralized, private-sector-led growth, or one of centralized, state-managed decline financed by the “New York Dollar.”
