Like the titanic going down, this is the point where the ship snaps in half. people are collecting unemployment because businesses are struggling and can't afford to keep them on the payroll. Lets fix this by putting more of a burden on these companies.Smart money will leave the likes of NJ,NY and CA in the dust. Let these tax exhorbinant states suffer their own demise

What do you propose they do instead of raising taxes?

I'm just curious, how many of these NJ is doomed threads have you started? You must be up to 100 by now, no? We all know NJ is in deep trouble, and in need of a complete overhjaul, but you cant just post the negative stuff and expect people to take it seriously. When you do that, it seems as though you are at best, a pessimist, or at worst, biased. I certainly cant tell you what to post or not post, I am just pointing out the way it looks to others. Some might even say you are obsessed with he downfall of NJ.

It seems like tax hikes are the only solution to anything these days. Ut! Now listen u little citizen.. you are unemployed and irrepsonsible so we must collect more tax to fix this system and keep it breathing. Is that the sole function of a leader?

Based solely on your name and your post I'm going to assume that you do not live in NJ and therefore are less aware of the shear amount of wasteful spending in this state. A few things.

Hmmmmmm....how about living the way financially responsible people do.......you can't spend more dollars out than you bring in ? If you don't have the money to afford it then you can't have it. Seems like a pretty simple solution to me ?

1. Eliminate double dipping.
Not going to save enough money to deal with the states problems.
Quote:
2. Consolidate school districts eliminating unneeded administrative positions
These expenses come primarilly out of property taxes ...
Quote:
3. Stop giving raises to our already overpaid cops
That would stop expenses increasing, but won't reduce them.
Actually cutting the budget is very difficult, because large parts of it (such as pensions and benefits) aren't discretionary (the state would need to declare bankruptcy to renegotiate those deals). This is exacerbated by the fact that the spending politicians can control is largely that a decade into the future. But they lose politically by trying to control tomorrow's spending (it upsets the unions, and the public don't see the benefits for years)
new jersey is a really expensive to live but they pay really good maybe the south in north carolina everything is cheap but the pay is low but it covers mostly everything
