Rudy Giuliani has been hyping his mayoral record throughout his presidential run, but he should probably avoid statistics on the basis that he makes everything up.
Among his misstatements:
- That New York during his tenure was “the only city in America that has reduced crime every single year since 1994.” Chicago is in America too, though.
- That he cut spending by 7 percent; his own memoir says it grew by 3.7 percent.
- That he increased the police force from 28,000 to 40,000, when most of that was due to a merger of the NYPD with the Transit and Housing Police Departments.
And so forth. Can we vote for none of the above?
