Friday Morning Brief Item 3: Yea, Governor Christie
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at February 12, 2010 7:16 AM
The New Republican Governor of New Jersey is dealing with his state's $2.2 Billion deficit by freezing state spending and cutting programs. Gee, it's almost as though he's saying Government shouldn't pay for things it can't afford. What a radical concept!
Naturally, New Jersey Democrats are squealing like pigs.
Governor Christie cut (transit) subsidies saying that the system needs to be fiscally efficient. Democrats played the environment card on that one saying that Christie's decision would hurt the environment and the economy because people needed the transit system to get to work.
Conservatives have a stereotype of Democrats as the party of gigantic, expensive, ineffective Government. The Democrats are all-too-willing to validate that stereotype at every opportunity.
