It seems that this problem--debt--runs all the way down to the most local levels of government. Actually, it runs directly back to the people of New Jersey, and the country, and many other countries in the world. It's not going to be fixed overnight.
The people have to get their heads right first, if that's possible. In the meantime, given the circumstances, you simply have to acknowledge that Gov. Christie is leading the people of NJ in the right direction, a direction they didn't want to go, and weren't expected to go.
I didn't call it demagoguing. I called it bluster. He talks big. I think there's a difference. Couldn't he throw a bone to someone like me who wants to see real cuts to pare back some of the cancerous growth of that has occurred during the past 50 years.? Isn't there ANY discretionary spending he could have eliminated already? Christie speaks like someone who recognizes the problems but, if you think about it, so does Obama (sort of, anyway).
