I love this guy. I watched the video yesterday. His description of the 1B shortfall (a one time Fed infusion...oh by the way, done during Corzine’s campaign)was NEVER going to be repeated. He tried to negotiate with the teacher’s union but they couldn’t give 1% towards their health benefits this year? That move alone would have saved 700 billion...but oh, no, they wouldn’t budge. Well guess what? This is what happens when you can’t share the pain of these economic times.
He lays out the facts like no one I’ve seen. The public needs more of this guy and those like him.
I hope Corbett is listening.
This will be duplicated in many other states across the US in the coming year because their budgets all got the one time money shot from DC. In Jacksonville Fl for instance, the money sent went for teacher raises...no one asked where is the money coming for these raises next year. Reminds me of the 100,000 cop program under Clinton. They hired a bunch of officers with the money which was one year money, when the DC money went away, the cities were in the hobson’s choice of firing them or finding the money to keep them employed.
correction - 700 million, not billion..
Three things missing from all other politicians (even with all their research staff behind them)...
FACTS, FACTS and FACTS!
