A few exceptions here and there don’t make Christie “quite correct”. Obviously, every state has felt the pinch, some more than others. Look at the worst cases from California to New Jersey and Michigan and its mainly rat-controlled states. And the most rat state of them all, California, is the worst.
No, the two parties are not equally to blame.
Christie is quite wrong.
So would you please explain 2006 and 2008 and why the conservatives did not play in those elections? Both are responsible, although one party more than the other but the reality is that under the control of the Republicans, the Senate, House and White House brought us rediculous amounts of spending because the treasury was bringing it in. Neither had the will and the respect of other people's money to manage it wisely.
The only us and them is this reality show is the Ruling Class against the producers of this country and as long as you and others like you blindly accept the blue vs. red scenario it will only get worse. Think back a bit, who is it that brought us to the blue vs. red thing in the first place, THE MEDIA!
