It appears despite my best efforts you still don't understand SSI is a Federal program!

Supplemental Security Income

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) In New Jersey

In many cases, the state of New Jersey adds money to the federal payment. The single payment you get in the beginning of each month includes both the federal SSI payment and your supplement from New Jersey.
Yes neat trick indeed

I see what you mean, from your link.

"SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a federal program that provides monthly cash payments to people in need. SSI is for people who are 65 or older, as well as for blind or disabled people of any age, including children."

In NJ the state where Christie would like to cut SSI

What is SSI?

SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a federal program that provides monthly cash payments to people in need. SSI is for people who are 65 or older, as well as for blind or disabled people of any age, including children.

To qualify you also must have little or no income and few resources. This means that the value of the things you own must be less than $2,000 if you are single or less than $3,000 if you are married. The value of your home does not count. Usually, the value of your car does not count. And the value of certain other resources, such as a burial plot, may not count either.

To get SSI, you also must apply for any other cash benefits you may be able to get.

You must live in the United States or the Northern Mariana Islands to get SSI. If you are not a U.S. citizen, but you are a resident, you still may be able to get SSI. For more information, ask for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) For Noncitizens (Publication No. 05-11051).

In many cases, the state of New Jersey adds money to the federal payment. The single payment you get in the beginning of each month includes both the federal SSI payment and your supplement from New Jersey.

Just take every point the OP mentioned and know every point is completely factually wrong. It has been proven over and over again every day for the last two years. The man is a complete failure and won't be in office much longer...

OK so now you admit that Christie doesn't want to cut SSI (not only that but he can't! It's a federal program) only the sweetener that Jersey adds. I don't find anything wrong with that. We are in a huge budget deficit, everyone has to sacrifice.

Of course he wants to cut SSI in NJ. The poor, elderly and disabled are lucky he does not have the power to cut it all or he would.

FACTS are irrelevant, don't you know?

Lying under oath is an impeachable offense.

He lied about sending other people's children to die so Cheney could build an empire in the Middle East. Bush himself admitted on Meet The Press he couldn't find the link to Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 attacks. Bush never found Osama Bin Laden like he promised, and he authorized torture at Guantanamo.

Barack Obama is a horrible President because he didn't pull out his magic wand and work up miracles overnight after he took office. It's all his fault deficit spending has gone wild, and he couldn't fix it even when Congress has given him hell since he's been in office. The national debt was irrelevant during the Bush Administration, yet now everyone us upset over deficit spending. Nevermind the fact that Obama ended the Iraq War Bush created, and he's now putting deadlines on our withdrawal from Afghanistan because he understands the price of these wars are ones neither we nor our children can afford. Forget about health care becoming more affordable for working class and poor people or the overturning of DADT. Disregard the 9/11 Health Benefits Bill, the START program, and the Food Safety Bill while we're at it.

It's considered socialism whenever we help the poor and middle class because they're there by choice. Spending money to build better schools, levees, dams, locks, roads, and bridges isn't cost-effective. Neither is extending unemployment because the blame lies on those out there unable to find jobs due to their lack of ambition rather than the ones who outsourced jobs overseas. Throwing out liferings for the rich is good for business because giving away $700 billion to Bank of America, AIG, and Citibank was supposed to remove us from the recession which it didn't. Furthermore, spending $1 billion on brand new sports complexes while the owners gets 10-percent profits is good for the community, but assisting those on welfare isn't worth our tax dollars. Am I reading this right?
On Bill Clinton, he was impeached and had his law license pulled for lying under oath to avoid getting a money judgment against him. He also lied under oath to deny Paula Jones her right to a fair trial in this country which by especially a President is as illegal as all hell.
