@Itanium153 You think being on welfare is easy? Look again. Only slackers can get through the system. I am on food stamps and I get sixteen dollars a month, while the drug addict and the mom with three baby daddies get three times the amount and plus general assistance make that five times the amount I get from welfare. My fiance can't get on welfare even while on unemployment because he makes too much and his didn't have a white collar job! The welfare system needs to change.

Time to storm the castle! And I don't mean occupy it, I mean physically attack it and the people inside!

My god I almost forgot the gas bill for the winter.

Lets see if you get up and go to work you pay about 350.00 a month for gas. Gas assistance 0.00

Oh and I almost forgot 600.00 out of deductions taken out of my check for getting out of bed going to work.

If I was getting welfare it would be 0.00 and its free money.

Although some people in NJ do need help and i do think the state should assist them. But we are a state that also hands out a lot of freebies to the lazy.

[Itanium153]

@JST120591 You see my point now. This state is failing to meet its financial obligations because the Tax payer is footing the bill for people to receive freebees.

Lets see I pay 107. a month for my cell phone. A person on welfare pays 0.00

Lets see I pay 1000. a month mortgage payment. A person may pay 50.00

Lets see I pay 350 for electric. A person on NJ Energy assistance pays 0.00

Lets see I pay 600.00 dollars a year for medical. Welfare 0.00

[Itanium153]

@JST120591 Oh Chris Christie lets see how about all the food stamps your handing out to people that can get up and work. I see people pay with EBT Cards and drive a better car than me.

Humm NJ Lets see we can not foot the pension for people that are working for this great state so we can Hand out free electric to people that really do not need it. Oh chris christie I forgot lets not pay are healthcare obligations so we can Give out free cell phone for people that collect those food stamps.

@JST120591

Your just dead wrong this guy could not cut waste even if it was a double cheese burger.

Chris Christie can not see that he is screwing over the state of NJ.

We work to put money in a pension so we can retire. I have paid into my health benefits since I have worked for the state of nj. This is the state if NJ Maybe we should come up with this program called section 8 we will give to a few disabled But maybe we should give it to the lazy ass drug dealer up the road.

[Itanium153]

I guess this song really does hit right on. The American dream is over if you are middle class. Maybe we should all go in the welfare line and get food stamps.

Oh I forgot how about we all apply for section-8 because i am to lazy to work.

Oh and how about this one how about going for energy assistance so we can all sit home and play xbox360. Hummm is it us the state workers.

Or does this state give out a lot of hand outs.

[Itanium153]

@JST120591

The thing is he is crushing the middle class, You are either going to be rich here in NJ or poor.

His attack on the state workers is out right anal. The price of health benefit will cost more than you could imagine.

The Cost into the pension is going to be outrage.

The public does not realize the state workers only account for 6/percent of the states annual budgets.

Show us where is the other 94 percent going.

[mmorrell2007]

Few? NJ is home to more wealthy than only California.
