Chris Christie is right. What in the hell has your teachers union done for you lately? Come to Chicago once. CPS have the worst SAT scores in the nation and these unions want pay raises for their hard work. They are thugs and they need to go!
There just isn't the money to pay 92% (in many cases 100%) of the medical benefits. Sorry! Welcome to 1995 - that is when my company decided that they couldn't afford that cost. Only government workers, firemen, cops and the teachers assume that the public has the money to pay for these "cadillac" benefits. The gravy train is over. Hey, if your rich, go ahead and pay EXTRA so they can still pay those benefits! Nothing stopping you.
You r doing nothing except what the rest of the governors have done. Not pay into the pension system. 8 yrs from now, after having teachers pay more, we'll be back to where we are now. actually worse. we will by then have to pay 5.5B of our tax money into pension system rather then 3.5 now. The taxpayers will wake up to this in about 8 yrs.He is snowing us.Think we are saving money now?Where would he get the $ from if we did 401K's now?
New Jersey, you did the country a HUGE favor when you elected Christie. I wish he would run for president in 2012. AMERICA NEEDS HIM NOW!!! There is no better, straight forward, talker who is able to sum in up in as few words as possible. I have never considered living in New Jersey until I learned about this man. Americans are behind you. Keep up the good work, even if you don't run, you are still good for America.
@JimboVids Thanks!!! It still makes me laugh too. It is funny how angry they get when I go there!!! When I am in the mood for a good liberal attack, I go there.
@TheYoungTurdz i hope this fat low life scumbag runs for president, fat boy christie 365LBS will drop dead in the summer heat of Texas, Alabama . This lowlife would never have the stones to walk into cop or firefighter bar without security so someone would knock this coward out.
@TheYoungTurdz turd what trailer park do you come from? typical brainless born again christian evangelical low life If I want shit from you I will squeeze your head
@TheYoungTurdz I love how liberals like you can only call this man fat. Do some research and come up with some evidence on how he isn't turning around the economy of New Jersey. You will find none; you sound like a stupid heckler who has gotten owned by this man...
You guys in New Jersey really screwed up by electing this guy!!! Hey Teachers! he will bust your unions just like the rest of the Koch brothers buddies in this country. If there are no unions we will be back in the 1800's, you know, sweat shops, no more 40 hour weeks, no weekends off, no vacation, no nothing for all your hard work and you will have this guy and the others like him to thank. Daughter of a union guy, and wife of a union guy.
@Jmarsfan28 How is EVERY SINGLE person adult in America evil? The reason they don't need public employee's unions is because of things like "Sorry, but the paramedics cannot come to you, even if your back is broken and your house is on fire, but they want a 1.5% pay increase."
@ziggyboi1995 in my town we had a house burn down because they didn't pay their annual fire bill. Pay to spray they call it. These are basic services that should be paid for by the government, unions are great for government contractors and employees but for most of the private sector they do more harm than good.
Actually the private sector does more good than harm. It is because of the private sector that this country is able to survive economically. I do agree that the government should provide some of the services that we can not offer ourselves. But here's what I find conflicting in your comment:
"The private sector does more harm than good"
Even if that was a private sector job, they should still save the house. Chances are that groupe of FFs will not be seeing another paycheck.
@Mage13246 well yes the original idea is a good one but, like anything they have been perverted by people who want power and money...My idea of all forms of gov. local state and federal is that they should ensure food, water, health care and some form of shelter. All of those ensure life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. and no they are volunteer i think but either way they could save the house then sue ...Greed and the lust for money is killing this country, and it's foundation
But it isn't the private sector that is the problem. If it was a volunteer, then that person is in trouble. However I did learn in Econ, that there are some goods and services that the private sector may not be able to produce. This is a Conservative Econ teacher speaking to me and the rest of the class about this.
However my Econ/Civics teacher is a very Conservative, and a Pro-Newt man.
And he is an amazing teacher, and it is easy for me to relate to him.
@cblazer No. Big, intrusive, socialist Gvt. is killing this country. Go back 50 years, before these socialists captured the heights of academia, and entertainment, and culture (not to mention Gvt.), and you'll see how prosperous this country was. At some point, these policies have to be judged on their merit. The day that happens, will be a sad day for the Democrat Socialist party!
@FreedomLover1973 yep, they do. But i'd say go back 150 instead of 50. The democrats have brought us some good things, same as conservatives but both have bad apples. We were suckered in with a health care it's just another good idea perverted, causing problems for any future attempts to ensure life. I don't know if you would call them socialist as it. Dem and rep doesn't matter anymore because both are used to coral us into a stagnant middle devoid of idea and innovation.
Man, I wish he was running!
