Theft Leads to More N.J. Budget Cuts.
March 18, 2010 at 8:33 A.M. Someone unhappy about Mr. Christie's budget cuts has made use of a New Jersey computer to attach an advertisement, illegally, to this blog:

David M. Halbfinger, "Christie Calls For Sharp Cuts in State Budget -- 'The Bill Has Come Due!'," in The New York Times, March 17, 2010, at p. A1.
The history of decades of political corruption and massive thefts from the public treasury have brought New Jersey to a crisis. The Garden State's Republican governor is taking his political life in his hands by doing what needs to be done to remedy the economic catastrophe brought about by thieves in public office -- thieves catering to a patronage and boss system dating from Al Capone's era.
Stay off the Turnpike for a while, Mr. Christie. New Jersey's CHILDREN are among the residents of a state suffering from decades of corruption allowing for pillaging the public treasury. It is those children who will suffer because of decades of incompetence and corruption in New Jersey.
Fittingly, Mr. Christie is banking on his Irish luck in making these anouncements on St. Patrick's Day -- which should be St. Cryspin's Day (Henry V) -- in Trenton.
Mr. Christie "unveiled a $29.3 BILLION budget on Tuesday that relies almost exclusively on spending cuts to reverse the sagging fortunes of a state [that] he sees as battered by the recession and choking on its tax burden."
Mr. Christie described public corruption in New Jersey as "brazen" and "blatant." He has also called the traditional power structure in the state -- the system of political bosses which he managed to bypass -- "a culture of corruption."
I concur in those assessments and in Christie's frequent descriptions of dozens of lives destroyed by the tumor of Trenton's political corruption which has caused the state to bleed money and jobs for a long time. Christie has to stop the bleeding now or the patient -- New Jersey's economy -- will die. Time for another "error" insertion, boys?
New Jersey's legal system may be beyond salvation because of tainted legal proceedings in rigged trials and fixed administrative processes. I have to hope that some effort will be made to restore a modicum of decency and fairness, or integrity, to N.J.'s laughable court system. ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics" and "New Jersey's Mafia Culture in Law and Politics" then "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")
"To close a deficit that [Christie] asserted was approaching $11 BILLION" -- I predicted $8 BILLION! -- "Governor Christie called for the layoffs of 1,300 state workers, closings of state psychiatric institutions, an $820 MILLION cut in aid to public schools, and nearly a half-billion dollars less in aid to towns and cities. He also suspended until May 2011 a popular property tax rebate program, ... " ("A Killing in New Jersey's House of Healing.")
Democrat soldiers and machine members accustomed to sucking on the public tit are in for some hard times. Excellent. The graft in New Jersey has been feeding the mafia child-porn and drug industries for much too long. ("Jim Florio and the Mafia in Atlantic City" and "How Many New Jersey Judges Are in the Mafia?" then "Organized Crime Group in New Jersey's State Police" and "New Jersey's KKK Police Shocker.")
While poor people may be somewhat hurt by these cuts -- a serious effort was made not to affect senior citizens' medication assistance or other vital poverty programs -- poor residents will benefit in the long run as will all other sectors of the economy from these necessary reforms. This budget fixing had to be done.
You cannot steal with impunity for this long without hurting all people by driving away employers -- especially private sector employers -- which is what the state desperately needs. Capital fears risk and uncertainty. Employers do not want to invest in a state with New Jersey's traditional mafia veneer and lingering whiff of legal corruption. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
Christie is changing all of that "foulness" and making the state attractive to money people who may be expected to create JOBS that will renew the tax base. Ideally, new sources of wealth can be kept away from the crooks. Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe Christie can do something about the stench of moral corruption on the Turnpike as you pass the Trenton exit. ("Cement is Gold" and "Da Jersey Code.")
Governor Christie stated: "Today, we are fulfilling the promise of a smaller government that lives within its means, ... The defenders of the status quo have already begun to yell and scream [through their hirelings in the media.] They will try to demonize me. They will seek to divide us rather than unite us. But even they know in their hearts, if not in their minds -- it is time for a change."
New Jersey cannot continue in the absurd and disgusting, Third World level path it has chosen for decades while remaining competitive with other jurisdictions in this country and all over the world vying for an increasingly diminishing sum of new jobs. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" as well as "A Corruption Tour of New Jersey.")
Mr. Christie, a good step in the right direction is to finally deal with the issues I have raised in an honest and forthright manner. Over the past several days I have experienced one of the periodic waves of attacks on my writings causing me to correct some of these essays dozens of times. My response will focus on the sex lives of Debbie Poritz and Sybil R. Moses -- as well as other such persons in New Jersey's befouled corridors of power -- because my adversaries seem to think they can intimidate me with these "error" insertions. (Soon: "'Memories of Underdevelopment': A Movie Review.")
May I expect a response to my requests for the truth concerning the crimes committed against me? I hope so. Thank you for all amplifications of this struggle on-line. Let us see what further "errors" are inserted in this text. Each such "error" inserted in my writings is a defecation on America's Bill of Rights for which men and women are dying today.
