I like him very much but I think he needs to finish his commitment to NJ before he runs for President. They need him and he's no quitter type.
I'm in east Tennessee so I don't have to worry about the way onto the Island but I will say this...definitely needs to complete what he's started and then we can take a closer look.

Christie sucks.

He has proposed eliminating a billion dollars of state aid to schools, cities, and towns, and has attacked the state pension fund. But then he has the balls to refuse to renew the Millionaire's Tax.

So he is not some great reformer, but rather a typical fat-cat conservative making the middle class carry the burden.

NO!!! He told the school districts they had to get their finical houses in order and not keep trying to raise property taxes on home owners!! He forced them to cut the waste which is EXACTLY what needed to be done. NJ is corrupt to the core and needs a cleansing. To many school districts pay administrators ridiculous amounts of money, in my town the super of the schools makes $200,000 per year that is INFRIGGINSANE!!

He did not renew the millionaire tax because it would cause BUSINESSES to leave the state and take jobs with them. He is doing EXACTLY what needs to be done to clean up this state.

And here is the difference between liberals and people who understand what a budget is and where money comes from.

ROTFLMAO!!

After Reagan and the Bushes borrowed 80% of everything this great republic owes not to mention the nearly $400 billion of annual interest we now have to pay on our debt. For comparison we spend about $100 billion on education and less than that on the infrastructure.

Since Reagan took over the rich folks made out like bandits when the Republicans were running things...that's a fact.

What a blind, FauxNews type of rightwinger you are!!
