Chris Christie describes himself perfectly.
People can’t get jobs.
I can’t quite figure out why folks are blasting Christie for speaking the needed truth.
Red meat for ‘REAL’ conservatives, He’s running for VP, ya know.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” - Alexis de Tocqueville
I know a lot of people don’t care for Christie (he is certainly more liberal than most of us here), but you really have to admire his guts for speaking the plain truth like this, saying things that Mitt Romney, for example, would never say in a million years.
The advantage to SS disability is that once one is on the program, in order to be removed, the agency has to be able to show improvement in the conditions which impelled the listing. This is a permanent entitlement paycheck.
Thats what happens when a Nation sends its manufacturing base overseas and imports about 50 million of the worlds most undesireable human beings.
Because of the United States’ Constitution, individuals are more able to develop a skill or talent and escape the “lot of man”, Poverty.

Patrick Colquhoun, 1806
Poverty ... is a most necessary and indispensable ingredient in society, without which nations and communities could not exist in a state of civilisation. It is the lot of man – it is the source of wealth, since without poverty there would be no labour, and without labour there could be no riches, no refinement, no comfort, and no benefit to those who may be possessed of wealth.
Please let this go viral.... Obama on double speak if re-elected.

Chris Christie likes to talk big, but what has he actually done? Why isn’t he talking about solutions instead of just rallying people to complain about problems we’ve already known for decades. Yawn.
Mr Governor, rather than giving speeches, please get back to Trenton and get to work on getting this great state back to work.
That's funny right there.
I watched a couple of hours of the program online. It was heartening to hear talk of lower taxes to spur economic growth. I haven’t heard that in ages. The fact that Bush chose NYC and the New-York Historical Society for this event is quite interesting. It wouldn’t surprise me if resignations were proffered in protest.
I realize a lot of people don’t like Christie BUT when he speaks it’s in a way that a lot of people can relate to and comes across as sincere. He could be what the Romney campaign needs. The problem then becomes getting the rest of the country fired up over two Northeast republican-lite politicians.
