What was cuomo’s primary criticism of reagan’s economic policies?

Governor Mario Cuomo criticizes the Reagan’s economic policies mainly because the administration didn’t tax and spend enough.  He said in his speech, "There is despair, Mr. President, in the faces that you don't see, in the places that you don't visit, in your shining city." Due to this speech, he became the frontunner of Democratic party for president but declined it.

he believed that congress would be better not dealing with "lobbyists", or people who seek to influence (a politician or public official) on an issue, since historically, they had problems with these kinds of people. he thought lobbying produces benefits, but should be carefully monitored.
