This is laughable. The idea that Sandy caused more damage along the New Jersey shoreline than the entire state budget of New Jersey is just crazy. Christie says that 30,000 homes and businesses were destroyed OR sustained substantial damage. The devil is in the detail of what "substantial" means. For argument's sake, let's say that the 30,000 structures suffered an average of $500,000 in damage. 30,000 x 500,000 = 15 billion. And I think that is a ludicrously high figure. And a lot of this was or should have been covered by insurance. The public has got to wake up to there being no such thing as free money and stop accepting as compassion the taking of other people's money by taxes, dilution by running the printing presses or the indebting of future generations.
