No political leader is going to agree with me on everything.

Christie has his hands full with his state’s financial mess, and I wish him success.

You got that right.
In fact people on this site will disagree with my sentiment regarding things like DOD, Air Force, NASA and Active Army: Eliminate them.
The DOD has lost accountability of TRILLIONS of dollars; that’s not “oh, we put it into ultra uber top secret projects” that’s LOST as it “it disappeared;” that level of mismanagement demands that agency be disbanded. If **absolutely** necessary then recharter a new agency to fill the old’s role. (In addition, the DOD [and the rouge Army Air Corps known as the Air Force] and NASA are NOT a constitutionally chartered organization as the Army and Navy are.)

As for the active army; the founders never intended for the US to have a standing army, as evidenced by the 2-year limit on ALL congressional funding for the army. In fact, prior to WWII the US had NO standing/active army.

If NASA and the DOD *REALLY ARE* necessary then the Constitution could be amended to explicitly charter them.

Christie is the best possible governor that anyone in New Jersey could expect. He is not Presidential material without a Damascus 2AMD conversion.
