In reply to the discussion: Christie Crime Digest Volume III [View all]Laxman

but did you have to do this to NJ in order to try to make Mississippi look good? The latest chapter of the exciting adventure series Chris Christie Financial Genius finds our hero once again doing his best to tank the state's economy. No doubt this is the fault of Obama, the public employees and the most evil teacher's union. Thank God we have Christie to look out for us! Just imagine what he could do for the nation as president (or would it be what he could do TO the nation?)
N.J.'s economic growth ranks near bottom in U.S.
Economic activity in New Jersey ticked up only slightly in 2014, new federal data released on Wednesday morning shows, and the state's growth ranked near the bottom nationwide.
The gross domestic product in nearly every state increased in 2014, with New Jersey posting an uptick of 0.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That's a slower rate of growth than in the previous two years.
New Jersey's increase in economic activity ranked 46th nationwide in 2014 and proved less robust than any other state in the mideast region, which saw a growth rate of 1.7 percent on average. New Jersey saw boosts in activity in professional and technical services and nondurable goods but experienced contractions in construction and finance and insurance in 2014 that contributed to the lackluster growth.
New York posted a 2.5 percent increase in gross domestic product in 2014 and Pennsylvania saw a 1.8 percent increase. Delaware (1.2 percent) and Maryland (0.8 percent) also experienced more growth than New Jersey.
The national gross domestic product increased 2.2 percent last year, the data shows. Only two states Alaska and Mississippi had economic contractions in 2014.
