EDITORIAL: Cutting spending in N.J.


THE WASHINGTON TIMES

President Obama could learn a lot about fiscal responsibility from New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie. The governor is making hard choices to close a $2.2 billion state budget deficit by freezing spending and erasing surpluses to meet current needs.

Mr. Christie is cutting money for schools, colleges, hospitals and the New Jersey Transit system - 375 line items total. He is removing noncitizens from the state health care system and canceling a jobs program that mainly created jobs for government bureaucrats. His cuts are intended to impose efficiency and accountability on government spending, concepts people generally do not associate with New Jersey politics.

Mr. Christie is taking withering fire for his efforts, which is a knee-jerk response to making hard choices, particularly when they affect government spending that some came to view as entitlements. But he is doing what he was elected to do. Mr. Christie's rationale is that, "We cannot spend money on everything we want." It's an approach refreshing in its simplicity and common sense.

GO CHRISTIE! Doing the Job An American Would Do!! Wake Up other 49 Governors ... do your jobs, balance those budgets starting with getting illegal aliens off our dole, out of our work force and out out out of our country.

Well I'll be damned. It's about time somebody started the ball rollin'! Lets just hope the good people of New Jersy elect more like him in key state positions.

Bravo! Christie should teach courses to the rest of the governors.

WOW talk about saving the state alot of money

I heard Michael Steele talking about his mother on the radio about a month ago. He said she was the daughter of a share cropper, had to drop out of school to go to work, never worked a job that paid more than minimum wage and got her kids through college. AND SHE COULD BALANCE HER BUDGET!

We need someone like her to be the next budget czar. Imagine someone in Washington DC that actually had to live on a budget and not spend someone else's money to make themselves look good and buy power.

What a man! Thank you, Mr. Christie, and please hang in there!

And our governator here in Ca says the 5 billion we spend on illegals health care is OK. Go Christie go. I just e-mailed the article to Arnie!

I am so happy to hear that NJ finally got a governor who is actually looking out for NJ taxpaying citizens and legal residents! It's about damn time!
