Everybody talks about raising taxes, cutting the budget, and not borrowing... yet no one talks about how the city is actually USING the money. Wasting money on inflated salaries, overpaying for construction projects, mismanagement/corruption...
Migrants....
its crazy how everyone already knows but nobody talks about the solution
@@otrebla8944 yes more migrants will help eleviate some of the problems, like increased workforce, more people paying into the taxes
Literally I've worked with government and they over pay ALWAYS. companies exploit the government big time and charge them 4x the cost.
@@hh-nh6ju
When they're legal.
Dave Ramjikh: You’re spending like you’re in Congress!
Caller: I am Congress
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ha!! That's a good one
I'm an Asian American who came to US to study and immigrated. This video left out the root cause of the problem: American people's, in general, terrible personal finance habits. We Asian Americans are saving/investing 20-40% while horrified by how most non-asian Americans spend, borrow, and don't save. Half of the people want to pay less tax, half of the people want more free handouts. The majority, with their terrible spending habits, then elect politicians who promise to spend like they do, and then the government spends just as irresponsibly as the people. The problem isn't the country, this is why the American Dream is still true for us Asian Americans. The problem is that most Americans have been a rich country for so long that people have shed their personal responsibility and put it on the government, expecting to be able to spend irresponsibly, have the government save them except only electing politicians who either cut taxes or increase benefits.
What part of Asia are you from?
I'm also Asian-American (though born and mostly raised in the west), and I noticed the same thing where Asians (and the Chinese especially) tend to be really diligent with their savings compared to Americans.
As an Asian immigrant I agree with you. Majority of my money is saved and invested accordingly. I have a budget set up that I follow even though I can afford to splurge. I’d say I kept the same simple lifestyle regardless of how much money I have liquid or how much my investments appreciated.
Average american consumers are bad at capitalism 💀💀
Isn't the American economy built upon consumption? I heard it makes up roughly 40% of the economy. I think the debt habit has blossomed through the idea of continual growth I.e. continual ramping of personal spending. Now, there is an impending hangover.
@@_Junkersit’s 80%. I had to double, triple check my reseach.
Keep in mind that budgets in the US rarely go backwards...
Govt always gets fatter
Dollar dollar bill y'all
Why should budgets go backwards?
@@grimaffiliations3671to cut spending.
@@otrebla8944 Why tho? If they're worried about the national debt they can just stop selling bonds
@@grimaffiliations3671 ...that isn't how it works at all. If they stop issuing bonds then they cannot raise the funds necessary to pay and then the whole system collapses.
If Las Vegas is short on money, we are all screwed.
ha!
@@AndreiJikh
It s the stri$$er index
We are going broke as a country because only the middle class pay enough tax, the rich and companies have loopholes
The "loopholes" exist for evweyone. Educate yourself and start using them.
Back in the 70s tax rate was as high as 70%. Federal tax revenues were nearly double if you adjust for inflation and as a result they spent more on education, housing, mental health, and infrastructure. (All areas of concern for Americans today. )
All of this came at the expense of the middle class. Most of the middle class either moved into the working class or if they were smart and or lucky moved to the upper class where these services don’t matter as much.
Yeah, with 35 trillion in debt, America isn’t headed for a good place.
Yet, America continues to print that dollar
bitcoin is tho
@@69pepe420we will see. It’s not guaranteed.
The national debt is just the savings and assets of the non-government
Debt is money. So they have plenty and it belongs to the people. US will be fine
There were news reports of a corrupt city employee in Houston who was having her relatives and friends to form fake businesses so she could award them city contracts worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions, for work they weren't even qualified to do. My point is that sometimes cities are being looted from the inside and outside due to corruption. Cities need to tighten down and make sure they have the proper checks and balances in place to prevent corruption and protect their revenue. There should be a team in place to award contracts, not just one person.
I live in Michigan and remember Detroit's debt crisis. A judge actually dissolved around $8B of their $18B debt. This has enormous consequences because future lenders will not purchase municipal bonds without extreme interest rates attached for fear of being left holding an empty bag.
I too live Michigan. It’s a dumpster, I am finally relocating to Georgia later this year..
This place is so worthless
Im from Pittsburgh and we literally had a sinkhole that engulfed a bus, and a bridge that collapsed and also engulfed a bus 🥴
So they should increase the infrastructure budget
So don't be a bus driver in Pittsburgh
@@jeffML3926bus should be banned in Pittsburgh 😂
The potholes here in Colorado are outrageous. Denver is worse than I've ever seen it, constantly dodging a flat tire while jammed in bumper to bumper traffic. I visited the springs recently and it's even worse. The roads might as well just be dirt.
You are brilliant, Andrei! Love your channel not only for the magic and financial information but for the laughs! Other channels provide solid financial info, but none have the comedy woven in like this one.
Things need to slow down. You can’t just keep going faster and faster and expect stuff to not become devalued. Like does anyone take their time anymore. Why is so much of pop culture in a flipping rush?
I live in NYC. There are potholes all over the city. My tires get flat all the time.
Crazy! It's super bad in Vegas too
Check your air more often.
@@AndreiJikh Wait till you see Rhode Island roads 😂
Too bad those $10k credit cards Erica Adams gave out to the illegals didn’t go to fix them
@@maritimezhang rather than crave for roads? interesting
Unfortunately, maintaining infrastructure becomes more and more expensive with time. NotJustBikes did a great job explaining this in some of his videos.
waiting for your video Broo.... looking forward to another financial enlighten ...
We are the USSR. We can’t afford the military anymore and we’ve done all we could possibly do to destroy the middle class. So now there’s either poor or wealthy. Go to any two class country, roads and infrastructure are terrible. Europe understood that ~30 years ago and decided to invest in their people. Now they have better infrastructure than we do.
We understood that decades ago before Regan started cutting taxes and funding to education, infrastructure, health, etc.
Federal tax revenue is nearly half what it was in the 70s if you adjust for inflation. They killed the middle class and then made upward mobility harder for working class individuals.
Some argue it was post civil rights retaliation, and honestly it makes sense when you consider the fact that minorities were mostly barred from quality education, housing, unions, and even travel in some cases. (Owning a car has a barrier to entry)
That intro was 🔥🤣
The problem is too many people sucking up resources and not contributing.
$4T for COVID stimulus, then $150B for Ukraine and $80-100B for illegal immigrants. Pretty simple calculus.
Hahaha Republican elite propaganda. Goofy af
Corporate wealthfare checks under trump and military industrial complex
Andrej for MAJOR!!
Good info, keep up the good work !!!!
Andrei for mayor 💪!
The roads down here in San Diego are goin to sht.
its over even here in canada
Super interesting topic choice and I'm glad I learned something new today! Thanks, Andrei!
Glad to hear it!
We need entire videos like the intro
Blown tires? That can happen here in Phoenix well. I get around it with driving a Jeep Wrangler with thicker sidewalls.
That intro was absolutely hilarious
Now we need to share this video with everyone in the country
Love the content! I always look forward to your videos coming out because I know I’ll learn something and I can trust your research while understanding it in a digestible way. Thanks for all you do!
We can't save anything because of high prices everywhere but my pay is still the same!!!🤔😡🤔😡🤔😡
Almost everyone can save something. I did it living on disability. It's about lifestyle and choices
@@laundrygoddess4That's a bit tone deaf
@@TheMoonlitArcade how so? I didn't say everyone, just most people. I work in finance and I see all kinds of spending plans. I see friends and family and what they consider a need even though it's not. I grew up on welfare and lived below the poverty level for 26 of my first 30 years on the planet. It's not being tone deaf. It's about accepting responsibility for making choices. I get that people aren't too fond of that but it is what it is.
Thank you for making this video!
It will not get any better, be happy with what you got.
this intro was fire lol
Demand more Ramsey impressions! Would have loved a whole skit with uncle Sam calling for advice 😂
Remember when nearly 70% of Americans couldn't afford a $600 emergency?
I'm trying to figure out how accurate that statistic is but I'm finding conflicting reports on it
Yet, we give money to other countries.
Yep, if we stop that we could do so much for the cities in America, but hey, the politicians know what’s better for us 🙄
Well u only looking at giving money what about all the benefits that the USA got after WW2 becoming the super power and police of the world. Invading, scheming , putting governments in other countries etc etc etc. Don't make it look like is one way street.
I agree. I visit NYC often and the potholes are a menace to anyone's vehicle.
GOAT intro
Great intro brother
Thanks. Interesting content.
Andrei I love your channel. Keep making videos please
Happy Monday everyone enjoy this amazing video
Have a nice day!
I have not yet watched the entire video, I can't stop replaying the first 15 seconds. Legendary intro.
Love the video. Especially the last few minutes
This is the first time I'm hearing this. I wish more people talk about it and get things fix
You're really good! Thank you!
Sup bro. Like your videos man. Keep up the good work brother.
Thanks! Will do!
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, followed by a dictatorship."
The public treasury doesn't really exist in real terms. Taxes do not pay for spending, and the fed has an infinite supply of dollars. The limits on government spending are in real terms, not financial terms. If we have the resources, we have the money
Enjoyed this journalist style video, hope you do more! Also been watching a lot of Cash Jordan, and if you two could discuss stuff like this going on in New York I think that would be pretty cool. He started off looking at apartments, but has been doing more journalism as of late and I think both of your styles are cool in different ways.
😂 I really liked the intro
Thanks!
The Dave Ramsey intro was hilarious 😂 more please!!
That intro is on point. Wow, haha
watching this from Portland ! :)
I’m sorry. Blink if you can’t leave on your own free will.
Well done
I’d vote for you Andre
Very informative.
Nice lead-in bro! 😅
💪😎🇺🇲
This is a fantastic video!
Nothing makes a city fill in potholes quicker than phallic drawings around it xD
America never had any money since we got off the gold standard.
Fan from Tanzania 🇹🇿
thank you! I'll have to visit Tanzania someday :D
Cheers Brother... Most welcome @AndreiJikh
Andre , the problem with America today is that people listen to
channels that have absolutely zero value and solve nothing. While the author is getting paid.
I live in Chicago, we have two seasons. Winter and construction.
I mean our country keep giving money to overseas and paying underserved people here, ofc we are going broke…
the federal government can't go broke when it makes the currency. And no, inflation only becomes a problem if you spend more than your economy can produce, and we're not even close to that
Portland makes sense
Grew up in coal country -- recently a sinkhole opened up below a creek due to heavy rain and now there's no creek, just a big hole in the ground. We're lucky it didn't swallow up the nearby houses.
It's very hard to get ahead nowadays 😢
Why are we running cities like businesses is the question?
Love Jerry Rafferty 👍, oh and yer channel too😂
Amen 🙏
That Start.... ha ha ha
You are getting so good at this RUclips thing. I have thought that a long time. Just now telling you.
The intro 😂😂😂😂
Great intro😂
great video
Wild that pension funds can be accessed. In Australia I don’t think that’s the case and superannuation is seperate. However there is a pension you can get from the government that occasionally gets adjusted
Americans who watched movies like "Wall Street" with the character name Gecko who stated the famous line "greed is good" "greed works" lived by that mantra in the 80s are paying for keeping up with others who also believed it. Greed is not good. It states in the Bible, "Love of money" leads to fall.
Poor leadership and reckless spending.
I can already tell this is gonna be a banger
haha thanks! Those are my favorite ones to make
Why Andrei Jikh is running out of watchable content?????
Dude I was just talking with unacquaintance about how the city looks strange (Chicago). I was asking him about his opinion about why I felt the city looked strange after many years not driving through a part of it. We weren’t sure we were just saying it looks cheap and ragged. Your video totally explains what we couldn’t put our finger on.
HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM
Ras and bins😂
The song at the beginning is called Baker Street.
The system has been insolvent for a long time now.
We will see big cities will be closing schools and be moving to online virtual education to cut expenses. This is another level how public will pay the consequence of having (public) debt.
they need to make an appearance on Caleb hammer.

She also said “inflation is fiscally irresponsible “
I think they need to cut down the City Agency’s budget. I recently done some data analysis based on NY City’s budget. NYPD gets the most overtime pay, then department of comptroller next.
The issue are suburbs and road infrastructure. If you look at the data theyre cash losses that are subsidized by other sectors
❤❤❤
Dude... One of my tires popped at the pothole at the railroad track... And it's true I noticed more potholes on the street.
That Ramsey impression was elite 😂
My county just raised property taxes 60 percent.
Andrei...bless your heart..this is 'merica...we print our way out of trouble! The taps will be flowing soon we just need some good names to call it: The Bipartisan Great American Rescue Financial Reduction Inflation Infrastructure Act, and so on...
Yeah, this idea that you can go bankrupt in a currency that you create out of nothing is silly. Just look at Japan, a debt to gdp ratio of 260% and they've never come close to default or high inflation
I don't know why this is considered a spending problem. I think it's a taxation problem. People from the suburbs benefit from the cities but leave the citydwellers with the bill. For instance, my city has lots of beautiful public parks and public beaches; while the burbs just has cookie cutter boring houses and the random office park. People from the suburbs come to our parks and beach, litter, and sometimes create a disturbance. These bad things are done by everyone, but the catch is that the suburbanites don't pay our sanitation workers, don't pay our police. If anything, some of the higher-ups in sanitation and the police often live in the suburbs, so the city doesn't get their property tax dollars or local income tax dollars.
Government spends far too much and always demands more
35 Trillion State Debt. 17 Trillion Consumer Debt. 52 Trillion dollar Debt. Whose gonna pay.
The first and main problem is calling issuing bonds “making money”. That’s like an individual saying they make money by using their credit card.
