Reply to comment by Mr_Matt_K in ‘The Hug’ changed American politics. How a Chris Christie-Barack Obama greeting signaled the death of civility. by Flashinglights0101
The guy attacked teachers and their benefits, as well as the police, firefighters, and other public workers that help the NJ society function as if theyre root cause of all the state’s problems. He handled Sandy well, yes, but anyone that goes on a public PR campaign that goes after the benefits of public servants that took decades to earn through contract negations is a big no my book. All the BS this state wastes money on, and public servants are the target. Hard no.

costs related to public workers are by far the biggest portions of this pie chart. And back then they were also paying next to nothing for healthcare costs.
That is the primary reason we are taxed to death in this state.
