Chris Christie - living high on the hog.

Fiscal Conservatism only applies to the little people with the GOP of today.

Chris Christie created a financial black-hole for the State of New Jersey by cutting taxes for the richest 16,000 New Jersey residents. He then cut taxes for them again, and only few days after saying New Jersey is so broke it must cut medical benefits for retirees and permanently freeze their pensions Christie said he wanted more tax cuts for the richest in New Jersey (note - not for everyone - just the richest). Middle-class families lost their property tax rebates so they faced tax hikes.

Schools lost nearly $1 billion in funding, their biggest hit ever. Thousands of working poor families were closed out of health care programs.State scholarship programs were run dry - removing the very ladder that helped turn the "American Dream" in to a reality. The incompetence of his Office cost the State another £400 million in Federal Revenues for schools.

All of that makes him a hero to the Republican Party. His tax cuts to the richest 16,000 New Jersey residents cost the City over $1billion. 10% of New Jersey budget revenues.

So while slashing services for the poorest and taxes for the richest what does the man who is bankrupting New Jersey do? He used a state helicopter to ferry him to his a high school baseball game his son was playing in. That wasn't enough, even though a Governor's helicopter arriving at a school would have been a whale of an entrance, the Governor decided that the 100 yard walk between the helicopter and the match was too much. So he ordered a limo to drive him that extra 100 yards. He then got bored of the match and walked off, via the pitch stopping play.

He then took that same ride back to meet some of the 16,000 richest New Jersey residents for a Republican fund raiser, that also involved Iowa's top Republicans encouraging him to enter the Presidential race. The dinner was nothing to do with State business.

The spokesman for the Governor declared - there was nothing inappropriate.

Hmmm. I seem to remember Christie thought there was nothing inappropriate about billing the taxpayers of New Jersey $400 a night for hotel stays either Remember it is ok if you are a Republican.

And as we are all constantly reminded the list just keeps growing yet nothing happens to this corrupt, incompetent hippocrite. It's getting hard to keep up with all the unethical and illegal acts Christie is responsible for but here's a link to a brief synopsis of some of Christie's major "accomplishments":

Chris Christie has lost the benefit of the doubt

Pleasant reading.

Thank you!

And please pass the link along!

That was what my local news told me: "no cost to the taxpayer because NJ State Police use his flights for training purposes". Uh, yeah, gotcha there. And the limo driver to take him 100 yards from the helicopter landing site to the baseball game? Was he training too?

And as if putting his carcass on a chopper doesn't burn up gallons of additional fuel....

but not paying the ticket is still evasion.

Because it'll was likely to come up a lot in the future doing police work.

State Police security detail. They don't work for free. Local police were there. They don't work for free. And if the helicopter was on a training flight then did they have an inexperienced pilot ferry Christie on his personal errands and personal political meetings? I highly doubt it. They used the most experienced pilot they had and that in itself negates any bullshit about training missions.

Here's how it goes:

Governor Christie: "I have a tight schedule tomorrow between my personal errands and private political meetings. I'll need the bird to get me to both on time."

State Police Colonel Fuentes: "Yes'm boss. I'll have a training mission scheduled right away to fit your schedule. We'll tell everyone it doesn't cost the taxpayer anything. The dumbasses will never know the difference."

Governor Christie" "Great. And don't forget to save a seat for my wife. She'll be taking care of some private errands on state time with the new state Homeland Security helicopter as her personal air taxi too."

Fuentes: "Yes'm boss. Of course, sir. Will you both be requiring an in-flight meal?"

Christie: "Take a good look at me. What the fuck do you think?"

Fuentes: "Yes'm boss."

New Jersey taxpayers were stupid enough to elect this arrogant pig governor and now we're paying for our stupidity over and over and over again. And there is NO end in sight.

Teachers? -> Greedy bitches! Gotta make sure they don't get tenure, because THAT'S what's wrong with our schools and school budgets.

But you know what's NOT wrong with our budgets? Hedge fund managers! Now those fine fellows need a cut to their taxes!

Stewardess! Another sandwich please! This is a 5 minute trip - what, I should starve?

Chris Christie-- one set of rules for himself, another for everyone else.

I can't wait to throw his fat ass to the curb in 2013. However in the meantime we need to give Democrats a veto-proof majority in the state house THIS YEAR.

he thinks nothing of wasting $5k of taxpayer money on a trip to see his son plays football and a return trip to feed Rethug lobbyists but thinks that $5k a year as a salary is too wealthy for medicaid.

looking awfully like Mr. Creosote there in that banquet pic, Chris!

Mind you, Mr Creosote was more honest than Christie.

And Mr. Creosote is obviously several pounds lighter than Christie too.

And doesn't he have syphillis from having sex with pigs?
