How do you know you are the governor of a failed state? When more residents there want to leave than want to stay. And thats the case in New Jersey; the states historic high taxes are making life miserable for most and if given the chance, most would vote with their feet.
Look no further than Camden, Newark, Trenton, Atlantic City, Paterson, Orange and other hell holes to live. All run be democrats; all crime riddle due to the residents that live there (hint: they vote for democrats).
Please don't tell anybody that South Jersey (except for Millville and Bridgeton) is 180 degrees different than central and north Jersey. Great place to live and raise a family.
Wuli is exactly right about the misleading headline. NJ’s situation is not Christie’s doing. OTOH, I’m not sure he’s done much to correct the high taxes or Nanny State mentality. For a GOP Governor of NJ that’s likely tilting at windmills.

You must mean Bruce Springsteen's (unrequited) groupie, who also goes by the nickname...
..."Mister Self-Control",
eh?
There is the "Corridor" that 40-mile wide swath of territory on either side of the road between Philadelphia and NYC where the very rude Jersy Ani of song and story live in their disgraceful millions, breed indiscriminately, shoot people, elect Soprano extras as governor, and use really bad grammar.
Then there is the Garden State, the beautiful agricultural English-speaking fox-hunting New Jersey of Millicent Fenwick and the sturdy yeomen who elected her. Really cool.
For centuries, New Jersey's chief export was farm products. Now it's "Corridor" people; so awful even they can't stand each other. Forget Ebola. This is the spreading epidemic that oughta be stopped.
Stay out of all red states!
Let them move to California and that will cure the urge they will be glad to move back.
“In a recent study, Allied Van Lines also found that New Jersey holds this record: Top state in outward migration. It is followed by two other high tax, high debt, deep blue states: Illinois and New York, in that order.”
Decades ago I worked for a company with its headquarters in New Gursey. We got out of there in about 6 months.
Even at that time, many if not most people who retired or quit their jobs were heading out of New Gursey.
One of our younger relatives married a great gal from New Gursey. For about a decade + she would go back to the Gursey coast and missed her home state. She went back for a funeral this fall. After she returned she said that she was not going back for any reason. Her relatives or friends could come out here or they can Skype each other.
I hope all those obnoxious people in New Joisy stay there and stew in their own juices. Anyone who accepts that way of life should not infect nice places that have nice people. It wasn’t too bad years ago, but all the libs left the cities to make that place the extension of the hellholes they left. Will never go back!
Answer to the question “how do we square the deal with Mexico?”
Thank you for pointing out that overlooked sentence in the piece. The rats have voted to increase taxes for years, well before Christie ever came on the scene. Higher property taxes will not produce high school gradates or students interested in expanding their intelligence. The gimme culture. The Libs & rats never saw a nickle they couldn’t justify stealing from the owner.
So it’s no surprise that the bloated governor of a bloated state wants to run the bloated federal government.
You don't rely on "The Crime Experts" to protect you from violent crime; rather, you defend yourself.
And, you actually (usually) get a fairly nice place to live for a fraction of the price of your creaky bug-infested decrepit little 600 sq. foot flat.
Yes indeedy, big cultural differences...
“There are two New Jerseys.”
I thing, in reality, there are pretty much two (Insert your state’s name)’s with respect to a majority of all of our states. Anywhere you have large cities (or in the case of some of the less populated states, comparatively “large” cities), you have festering $hitholes that reach out and pollute their surrounding countrysides. I know for sure that’s the case here in California where I have lived for all of my 74 years. But less than ten miles away, it’s a completely different story. There, “corridor people” live in great numbers. As you point out, in the NE you have a lot of very nice places to live, but “corridor people”control the political process with the “assistance” of Marxist RAT politicians who pander to the “needs” of these cretins. The open question is when (or possibly if) are we going to have to defend our places of abode from the “corridor people.” Folks in Ferguson are arming themselves as this is being written.
Periodically change the border signs from “Welcome to Texas”, to Welcome to Mexico”! That should do it.
Sound more like Brooklyn. I grew up in Manhattan in the '50s and the running joke was:
[On a school outing].
Jimmie from Brooklyn: "Look! A boid!'
English teacher: "Jimmy, that's not a 'boid' ".
Jimmy: "Then why does it choip?"
So I probably wouldn't be too far off if I guessed that these 45% of New Jersians are either government employees of one form or another or are on the public dole.
Of course you are correct! I have lived in 14 states, so far, and the New Jersey I lived in was idyllic (no other word for it.)
The whole of the US is turning into a cultural conflict between "corridor" people and more culturally traditional American people, regardless of location, so I will not pick on New Jersey.
Excuse me for a moment. I must slip into my spandex outfit. You know, the one that shows off my tattoos where it's torn? I have to get over to Wal-Mart to put $60 worth of chips on my EBT card and pick up my free diabetes and BP medication.
Liberal hellholes other than the countryside.
Dear God yes, stay away from my state as well. These leftist are like locust, they destroy where they live and make is so miserable everyone wants out and they move taking their own stupidity with them to their new digs to infect and destroy that state as well.
I left in 1971 when I went into the Army. I never went back.
