New Jersey – a National Joke.
Ladies and Gentlemen of New Jersey, the state government is shut down, and here is our legislature at work. It is a democrat versus democrat pissing contest over the best way to wring the money out of the state’s taxpayers to fund a budget that contains a 9.2 percent spending increase at a time when the state already faced a massive deficit.
The republicans in the legislature proposed $2 billion in spending cuts rather than saddling the citizens with a host of new taxes, but they have no meaningful voice in all this, for this is a Blue, Blue state.
At this moment, it is Disgusting State.
Every article I read today, every news story that covered that situation – I cringed for you…….

Shutting down Atlantic City IMO was the craziest.
I mean the gambling inspectors bring IN more money
than they cost?

Same goes for shutting down the lottery and the racetracks. They, like casinos, generate lots of revenue to the state.
