Chris Christie who has been spending his time as governor of new jersey by making drastic cuts to education and basically all public services while claiming the state is broke, recently took a helicopter ride to attend his son's H.S. baseball game.
Christie has shown what fiscal conservatives mean when they say we all need to tighten our belts in these tough economic times... all the regular people are going to get the shaft while people like him continue to live lavishly.
You can now remove your foot from your mouth. All of your efforts to express your embarrassment at being fooled by a slanted web site will be accepted.
State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes released a statement arguing the flights don't cost the taxpayer anything.
Fuentes said the time police pilots fly the governor count as training time.
"It is important to understand that State Police helicopters fly daily homeland security missions, and use flight time for training purposes, more so lately as we acclimate our pilots to the new aircraft," Fuentes.
Fuentes said because of this, the flights have no extra cost to the taxpayers.
okay so i guess you don't find it the least bit hypocritical that he cut that deficit by totally decimating the state's education system and all other public services while making sure there was still enough budget for his pointless chopper rides?

To say that flight did not cost the taxpayers anything - and to NOT see it as a big waste of resources just so someone could fly to six innings of a baseball game is just naive shortsightedness with a dash of rose colored glasses vision thrown in too- the gas costs something- to say that these flights are happening anyways is a cop out- the gas used for the flight should have been used to transport food to homeless shelters, or to do anything that would be far more useful to the taxpayers than bringing that politician to a baseball game-this sort of entitlement attitude of all politicians is something that is so hypocritical and it is absurd that anyone would defend such misuse of government resources-
LOL, his point being the Blaze wouldn't report it?
I'm getting to the point where I would be ok with the government spending a few billions on educating all of the retarded Democrats, it's for the greater good of the country.
