In an interview at CPAC with conservative show host Laura Ingraham, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) acknowledged why many governors likely adopted the unproven Common Core standards were dangled before them by the Obama administration: He signed onto them because his state needed the federal funds that would come in exchange for adopting the unpopular education reform.

Ingraham asked Christie about his prior support for the nationalized standards, and observed that he did sign his state’s Race to the Top application for the federal funds.

Race to the Top = Race to the Trough.

NJ has one of the richest populations in the Colonies. Why did you need the money, Krispy?

In other words, he sacrificed the education of New Jersey children for federal dollars.

What a creep!

Handing over education to Federal indoctrinators for a short term budget fix.

It’s like Cain giving up his birthright for a bowl of porridge.

Yo, Governor Krispy, there’s no such thing as “federal funds”. There’s only “taxpayer money”. Where do you think all that “federal funds” come from?

Not only is Christie dead meat, he’s stupid dead meat.

But look for him to stay in the race because he can draw a salary from campaign funds. Hey, he needs the money!

That is how the FED works and gets stated hooked: they dangle money.

That is similar to the excuses other governors use to explain why they accepted new Medicaid money under Obamacare.

That is also why students in public schools are getting sparse plates of food in school lunches. Schools have to adhere to Moochelle's standards or lost some FED funds.

Ingraham asked Christie about his prior support for the nationalized standards, and observed that he did sign his state’s Race to the Top application for the federal funds.

In 2010, Barack Obama called for fixing the public education system by giving us the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and “Race to the Top,”

which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called “No Child Left Behind,”

which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called “Goals 2000,”

which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by “America 2000,”

which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called “A Nation at Risk,

which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nation’s public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.

That would be Esau, but the point is well taken.

No, he is a man of principal. He takes the principal, hires more principals, and then sticks the rest of us with the payback of the principal, with interest--which, one might add, makes him a person of interest in this whole criminal charade.
