Nonetheless, some creative judicial interpretation may be the only thing standing between big-spending politicians and their ability to foist unlimited debt upon current and future New Jersey taxpayers.

Didn't the NJSC find a "constitutional right" to put a democrat on the ballot *after* the deadline for putting names on the ballot had passed?

Don't laugh. That ballot switch was probably the best thing that happened to the rest of the U.S.

By ensuring that New Jersey had two Democratic senators instead of a Senate delegation split between the two parties, the state's Democratic Party made it easier for the GOP Senate, House, and President to screw New Jersey in the Federal appropriations process. As a result, New Jersey remains one of the worst states in the country when it comes to Federal outlays received in comparison to Federal taxes paid -- this state receives something like $0.65 cents in Federal outlays for every dollar its taxpayers send to Washington.

Next up will be the next round of military base closings. I can virtually guarantee you that New Jersey will be lucky to keep even half its existing military bases.
