Lose some weight, get off your ass, cut spending, reduce taxes, and give freedom back to everyone in the state. How hard is that fatso?

“Murphy has previously warned of “historic” public worker layoffs without federal assistance.”

why is Murphey waiting? just do it, most are unnecessary, they should already be off work all these weeks.

[moviefan8]

Shoulda kept your state open.

Don’t feel sorry for you Phil.

I feel sorry for the people of New Jersey, though.

“A fiscal disaster is not months away — these decisions will be on our doorstep in just a few weeks,” Murphy said

Whatever fiscal disaster materializes in a few weeks in NJ, will only be worse in several years, so it's time to feel the pain of the irresponsible decisions of your politicians.

No reason for police, firefighters, and teachers to be laid off. They’re mostly paid by local property taxes. I’m sure the state has a lot of fat that can be cut.

The guy would be terrible at poker.

This the same gov who took shots at Trump? Good luck. Adjust your spending. Clown

[Bon mots]

Just let me sell my place in NJ... closing in weeks... I want out!

[nevermorelenore]

Hey, New Jersey....

Well, Bye!

[slapshot]

No bailouts for blue states. They shouldn’t be asking taxpayers from responsible states for handouts.

No bailouts for blue states.

Right. Who isn't for tons of layoffs from states when unemployment is already double digits.

If the states don't get aid you can kiss your economic recovery in the next year goodbye.

People who think Trump will let that happen aren't paying attention.

[Mariner]

I think we should just force all states to adjust their budgets or face default.

It’s the right thing to do.

[Antoninus]

He created the disaster. Now he wants federal funds to bail him out. No dice, governor.

[cherry]

trump has little choice....

btw, wasn't the Spanish flu the worse health crisis?....

[semimojo]

I think we should just force all states to adjust their budgets or face default.

Sounds good unless you want some semblance of an economic recovery in an election year.

[cherry]

and that'll be the day when public sector workers actually get laid off...ha!

notice how when its teachers or other public workers we get buckets of tears but the lonely small businessman, or the private industry dude get NOTHING at all....
