If anyone has a legitimate right to gripe about the economy he inherited, it’s reluctant rock star, Chris Christie. His spendaholic liberal, Goldman Sachs alum predecessor left the state 46th in the national economic freedom index. Former governor, Jon Corzine resorted to the standard liberal failed experiment of raising taxes on the “wealthy” to cover his staggering budget shortfall. Christie took office with creditors, literally, beating down the doors.
The first time I saw Chris Christie, I liked what he had to say and got all tingly at the thought of being rid of Corzine in New Jersey, but tried to keep things in perspective. Corzine was an incumbent, a liberal in a deep blue state and had virtually unlimited funding.
