Really? Imagine this.
Hey folks,
What do you do, in your life, in your home, when you find that perhaps you over spent? Be it Christmas, Birthdays, or that over priced car that you HAVE to have? Yup. You cut somewhere else. You reduce your spending. No matter what you spend, most of us have a set income coming in. So you spend more, you HAVE to cut somewhere else. Logical, reasonable, and Sane.
So what does Government do? Spend more. So what happens when someone in Government comes a long and says, "Enough already?" The Libs get ticked off. {Laughing}
According to News Channel 2 - N.J. Gov. Christie Freezes Spending
With State's Budget In 'Shambles,' New Governor Slices Into School Surpluses, NJ Transit Subsidies; Dems Furious
The snow isn't the only thing that's causing a chill in the Garden State.
Calling New Jersey's budget a "shambles," Gov. Chris Christie announced Thursday he is immediately freezing all state spending.
Saying New Jersey is on the verge of bankruptcy, Christie declared a fiscal emergency, announcing drastic cuts. Among them, aid to school districts that have excess surpluses.
"Today we are going to act swiftly to fix problems too long ignored. Today I begin to do what I promised the people of New Jersey I would do," Christie said.
Good. Of course, he is a REPUBLICAN. Which this story doesn't come right out and tell you.
The move had Democrats in an uproar, angry the governor used his executive powers instead of working with the Legislature.
Why should he? Nothing would have changed. This is a BOLD move on Christie's part. I am willing to bet it works.
"What that's going to mean is that those school districts without that money are going to be raising property taxes in the upcoming year to make up for that shortfall," said Assemblyman John Wisniewski, D-19th District.
NO IT ISN'T. They have a SURPLUS.
The governor also cut state subsidies to New Jersey Transit, saying it needs to become fiscally efficient.
"Revisit its rich union contracts," Christie said. "And they may also have to consider service reductions or fare increases."
"It's really foolish. It undermines not only the environment but our economy because people need transit to get to work," said Jeff Tittel of the Sierra Club.
Idiot.
But one tax group applauded the governor.
"Yes it's going to be difficult to make some of these choices as were highlighted today, but education, health care and these things tend to be sacred cow and they need to be taken out of that category," said Jerry Cantrell of the Taxpayers' Association of New Jersey.
Fellow Republicans said some school districts have been abusing the money they get and it's about time a governor called them on it.
"I think the record indicates that there are a number of school districts that have been overspending, misappropriating," said Assemblyman Joe Mallone, R-30th District.
The governor said he doesn't anticipate schools cutting programs or jobs right now, but sources within the administration said there are no guarantees for the next fiscal year.
Christie warned lawmakers that next year's budget may include even harsher cuts in spending and aid.
{Laughing} No more free rides in NJ folks. Keep it up Gov. Christie. Do not let these morons fool you. This is just standard Lib. Rhetoric. "If we have to cut the budget, we will have to cut Schools, Fire and Police." Truth is, most of the time that is nothing more than complete BS.
Congratulations Gov. Christie. You ARE the Winner of the Display in Logic Award for Sunday 021410. Keep up the good work. Logic in Politics? Who knew?
