Calling New Jersey's budget a "shambles," Gov. Chris Christie announced Thursday he is immediately freezing all state spending.
Saying New Jersey is on the verge of bankruptcy, Christie declared a fiscal emergency, announcing drastic cuts. Among them, aid to school districts that have excess surpluses.
The move had Democrats in an uproar, angry the governor used his executive powers instead of working with the Legislature

Change is in the wind, finally.
The lunatic spenders are getting chopped one by one.
'Bout time someone somewhere puts a plug in it. Is this what they mean when they say the Repubs are the 'party of no'? Excellent.
Not so fast my friends. Gov. Granholm is in the process of cutting our sales tax from 6 to 5.5%. Problem is, she wants to tax services, so it is a net $1.5b. increase. She told us Michiganders we would be blown away by her sceond term economic plans. Lt. Gov. Cherry needs to step up and have her declared incompetent to hold office.

Jennifer Granholm is an economic illiterate if you Michiganders had any sense you'd vote to recall her before she completes the job of completely destroying what's left of the economy in your state.
P.S. I just loved it when Steve Wynn gave her an @ss kicking on national television, I've never seen a governors head spin so fast.
Christie said he's prepared to be a one termer. He's not out to make friends nor campaign for a second term. He's got cajones and that's what our state needs. Desperate times...
Now I anxiously await the spin about the plethora of victims this disciplined action creates.

Before Christie is hailed as a hero by the conservative right, he is doing what every other NJ Governor has done in tough economic times.........trickle down costs from the state to the local communities.
His cuts to state subsidies (which are paid by the taxpayers) will have to be picked up by the local taxpayer. Christie claims he cut expenses for state but it was picked up by local tax increases

This is also known as "top down" fiscal discipline.... the alternative would be to wait for local governments to cut expenses before cutting outlays to local governments at the state level, in other words "bottom up" which doesn't work as long as the money faucet at the state level remains wide open.
