I don't want to hear about how much we New Jerseyans soaked the country for Hurricane Sandy. For my entire life NJ has been a bill payer, 49th or 50th in federal dollars received year after year after year and always near the top in dollars sent. Christie is right, we send way more than we ever get back. Now one time, just one single time, New Jersey is getting some money back (mind you, we are still sending more out than we'll be getting back so we're still paying the bills of other states even with this fund) and people gripe like we held them up.
Other states, when you all agree to get your hands out of my pockets every year I'll agree that NJ shouldn't get hurricane relief this one time.
