Because he's making noise only speaking of the result of the problem, not the cause or solution...
We all know there are far too many people collecting gov't benefits...That's not newsworthy...Nor deserving of a pat on the back for acknowledging it...
I disagree. If all he talked about was too many people on government benefits, he could have blamed "the 1%", "the rich", "evil corporations", or any other liberal boogeyman. Instead, he pointed a finger right at those people and said that a lot of them just didn't have a work ethic, and had an entitlement mentality.
No Democratic/lefty would ever say that. They'd claim it was "blaming the victims", etc. Christie told it like it is. Regardless of his merits on other issues, on this one, he hit a home run.
