Governor Christie - Thoughts?

He's god

1) He's taking on the teacher union - no other politician in nj has/had the balls to do that. teachers get paid wayyy toooo much. the NJ teachers union agreed upon a 4.5% raise per yr (72/4.5=16). teachers don't add enough value to make more than 50-60k tops. they don't contribute a dime to there healthcare plan, everyone knows healthcare is increasing exponentially.

2) He's trying to pass a constitutional amendment to cap property taxes at 2.5%. NJ has 566 towns, it has more towns per square mile than any other state. Why is that significant? Administrative costs! Every town has all these bullshit positions that might make anywhere from 60k-130k a year with benefits that don't contribute much to the town and could most likely be merged with another position to save money. If property taxes are capped there is hope towns will merge and therefore consolidate and cut wasteful jobs and therefore rein in our spending.

3) He's cut a lot of useless spending that frankly I don't care about.
