A reminder, Christie gave $1.57 billion in state tax breaks for 2,364 jobs, or $387,537 each

in tax credits over ten years.

Does anyone think any of those jobs will pay $387,537 over ten years?

Corporate welfare at it's worst.

“Christie has taken this to a whole different level; it’s become a feeding trough,

For too long to count NJ politics has created a feeding trough for politicians, no show jobs, unions, and friends. As someone that has lived in New Jersey my entire adult life of 30 plus years (soon to move largely due to an ever increasing tax burden created by past feeding troughs) this is hardly a whole new level of potential government waste Jersey style.

I wonder if this path is any worse than the road Jersey is on.

Time will tell.

Or, D'ya want a grandé?

Or, Our special of the day is our meatloaf plate, with mashed and green beans.

Or, Hello! I crave your indulgence. Do you know that funeral expenses can put your family in the poor house? We have an insurance policy... Hello! I crave your indulgence...

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

These are the jobs. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the last one was taken off shore years ago.
