I read that he planned to take 400-some million from education budgets. This is all well and good. Then I read that he planned to take it by not dispersing funds to districts that ran a surplus. Typical government punish-the-strong mentality. I hope there is more to this rumor.
Roga, I want to make sure that I understand your comment…you are saying that if a taxpayer-funded department runs a surplus when the state is in a serious deficit situation that the surplus should be sustained? I did not see anything that indicated that the surplus was due to departmental excellence or efficiency or competence.
As US Attorney Christie spent millions furnishing a 70 year old loudmouth with a (disabled) shoulder-fired missile, and a (phony) terrorist buyer of same, so that he could put an amoral-but-harmless old salesman in prison for the rest of his life. And he wants to run on fiscal responsibility?
@Jim: At least Christie has a public record of action that we can argue over, which is more than what could have been said of the current occupant of the Oval Office two years ago. If what you said about Christie is the worse you can come up with, I’d give money to his presidential campaign.
Harmless 70 year old? Nice slight of hand Jim. If that missile wasn’t disabled and was sold to an actual terrorist, you consider that harmless? This is the worst thing I’ve ever heard from you.
As well spoken and well thought out his views may be, he fails the attractive standard that all contemporary presidential candidates now face. The reality is that about ten percent of our population votes on this one standard alone, which is why we get in messes like the one we are in now.
