The Political Chase

Elect Rudy - Get Your Social Security Check Two Months Late

As Mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani could not effectively and efficiently manage a simple matter of his security detail’s travel expenses, which is in stark contrast to what Giuliani claims on his campaign web site (see video).

As Americans select the next president I believe they need a proven leader and problem solver. During this campaign, when I talk about the goals I set as president, whether it’s restoring fiscal discipline or improving security, I’ll be making promises based on a proven record…We made government smarter, smaller and more effective…Improving public safety was the essential first step to New York City’s resurgence. We implemented pioneering strategies that measured crime in real time and allowed for the immediate deployment of police officers.

I’m running for president because I know how to get things done. I proved it in New York and now we need to get things done in Washington.

So, Rudy can immediately deploy police officers, but his profound restoration of fiscal discipline resulted in poor financial management within the police department forcing officers to bear the burden of travel expenses related to defined continuing security operations. His fiscal discipline was so profoundly sound and efficient that the security operations could not be financed from within its own department, rather transfers from other agencies were required. And his well-structured expense payables operations required a two-month cycle to reimburse employees.

I think its a great idea to take Rudy’s proven-record as Mayor and implement it throughout the government. Recipients of Social Security benefits could get their checks from the Department of Defense or maybe the Department of the Interior six-weeks to two-months late.
