Wasn't New Jersey a state that had among the highest taxes, spending, debts and deficits per capita in the United States before Chris Christie became govenor? Doesn't this mean that the state needed agressive spending cuts to balance the budget before they hit a crisis point? How could the budget deficit going to be reduced to a reasonable level without agressive cuts to education?

 

I could be wrong, but I believe that Chirs Christie was actually heavily supported because he is the kind of person people seek out to lead when difficut and unpopular decisions have to be made.

NJ has about the highest property taxes in the nation, income taxes, sales tax and high fees.  The taxes are crazy high there.  How could it have a large deficit with all of that tax money?  Maybe Chris will be able to help fix the broken state.
