Dan, your attitude is what exactly is killing this country. Spend more money that we clearly do not have to build a tunnel to create jobs that we CANNOT pay for. We need to cut the crap out of everything, work hard and get out of debt!!!!
Everything else will then take care of itself.
More education, kind sir is NOT going to straighten out this huge mess.
While you are at it please tell your Obama friends to start buying American vehicles....profits need to stay here!

Dead your attitude is exactly whats killing this state, I ask you to recall the noble hearts that first set out to sea in a boat, and when they landed here they set their hands to work to build up a nation. And when the time came they declared their independence and fought for it.There after we were engaged in a great civil war to determine whether that nation, or any other nation could long endure. Along came the industrial revolution and two world wars, when the greates industrail expansion on the face of the earth when a sleeping giant was awakened.
A young president spoke of going to the moon not because it was easy but because it was difficult.
Today it would appear that some one has has either a crisis of confidence in New Jersey or analysis paralysis.

You love to continually promote Jerry Brown, the governor of the state that is on the verge of bankruptcy. Which explains why you are perfectly content with the current administration. You love to keep blaming Bush, which admittedly deserves some blame. But you fail to remember that the House and Senate were were Dem run for 4 straight years as the country went off the cliff. While Bush deserves blame, lets not forget to include those from your side as well. Or are you unable to concede that? Or concede that Obummer has not signed a budget in 4 years? Or that the one he hand crafted was shot down 97-0 in the Senate? Not one Dem voted for it because it was so bad. Now the Middle East is burning and he sits and does nothing other than complain that CNN published that the Ambassador knew he was a marked man and the current admin did nothing to protect him.

Jack guess you missed the reference to the drunken sailor Bush and the gop enablers who not unlike the captain of the Titanic slammed the republics economy on to the rocks and now bemoan the wreckage?
Get of the gop crack pipe of blame and get in there and face the damage done by the gop who even tried to push the nation in to default, and oh yes even New Jersey under this governors leaderdship's credit rating took a no confidence hit as the governor p[roposes making it a felony to reveal the thet states financial realities?
Lead follow or get out of the way sound familiar, atleast Brown audaciously leads after the Governator slinks out the back door like Bush did.

Stew, it was all Bush and the Governator and Christie's fault? I forgot Wille Brown, Jerry Brown, and Corzine were the most fiscally responsible people in the world, right? I guess when you can't defend Obummer you keep blaming Bush. And I agree that Bush is partly responsible, but lets not forget who created all these spending measures. And wasn't it Queen Nancy and Lord Harry who said that with every dollar spent, there would be a dollar cut somewhere? How's that working with over 16 trillion in debt and climbing. Obama is a deer caught in the headlights and doesn't know what to do.

least we forget that the Chritie adminsitraion for its opning act bungled a $500 Million dollar education grant and lost that money from the fed, for it second high wire act, he cancelled the tunnel which meant NJ had to return $375 million dollars, can you add? I ask because Bill Clinton at the dem convention questioned the collective gop's ability to count?
Now as NJ and several other states nixed off high infrastructure fed grants totaling multiples of tens -O- billions?
It is none other than Californias Jerry Brown who has been the beneficiary of those refused monies? Whose the stupid? The GOP who cuts their nose off to spite their face I say and in those staes the infrasturcture crumbles, bridges collapse like a 1950 built Tappan Zee road bed!

yeah lets not build up a nations infrastructure on stupid things like roads and bridges and tunnels and hey tell the catholic church procreation is soooo wrong? go ahead create, I'll sit back and split a gut as you do! No really go ahead I am watching and reading, this should prove to be amusing!

Create This, did you build your business on an island or does a road pass by. Do you use the internet first developed by research at Universities. Do you use rail or public transportation to further you business. I love your China policy on children at one only or maybe none. If Governments don't create jobs than why is Obama being attacked for lack of job growth. Tax us to death ? Like Romney is taxed ? You are right about one thing and that is demand and Republican obstructionism is killing the greatest potential for demand and that is a strong middleclass.

If "it's not Bush's fault" because he's no longer in office, then it can't be Corzine's fault, either. I'm just saying be consistent.

Truly remarkable that you have constantly been blaming Bush for the country's problems, yet no one is allowed to blame Corzine for NJ's problem! Totally hypocrisy by the left once again. If you are doing a head count, where was Obama when our consulate in Libya was under attack? Golf course? Vegas? partying with Jay Z and Beyonce @ $40,000 a head? All of the above?

Bill Kristol: ‘Obama team turned around’ Bush’s financial meltdown http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/09/23/bill-kristol-obama-team-turned-around-bushs-financial-meltdown/
Uh Jack? yer a Demagogue on the Libyan attack when it was Bush that was in office on 911 so please, stop cheap low life comments. In response to the attack in Libya free Libyans rose up this last weekend and have begin purging Benghazi of armed militias there. US embassies across the globe are not fortified compounds bristling with barbed wire and machine gun nests to begin with. They are diplomatic missions that represent and project American interests.
Yes, I do hold Bushco accountable and most at fault for an $800 Billion dollar off the books accounting gimmick that has left generations yet unborn to shoulder. And along comes your crowd who acts like the defecit does not exist but rather it is a sitting president and a past governor and not a sitting governor who ran on the plank that he was going to stop the red ink, but has not. Your crowds selective amnesia does not go by un noticed at all despite your denials and attempts to redifine the facts to fit your political agenda.

So, since Bush was in office during 9/11, no Republican should ever criticize anything that happens during the Obama administration? That's asinine even coming from an MSNBC loving moron like you. While a consulate is not fortified as an embassy, you certainly would think that security would be beefed up on 9/11 especially when there was intel 3 days earlier. Of course, the Prez wasn't at the intel briefing, as usual. Your complaining about Christie because he ran on a platform that he was going to fix things. Didn't Obama say immigration reform was one of the first he was going to get done, reducing the deficit in half lowering unemployment significantly and if he didn't he should be a one term president? Or do you have selective amnesia. The only reason unemployment has gone done is because so many unemployed have stopped looking. If you want Christie to take responsibility, then you should insist your President should do the same.

Stewart, Thanks for the link. What these Republicans and a lot of other people fail to understand is that sudden policy changes like tax cuts for the rich and wars without end, (remember they called it the "Bush Doctrine") are a lot harder to dig out of than simply waving a magic wand. I was in Office when the Whitman Administration damaged property tax payers so badly in an effort to look good with a State Income Tax Cut. We still feel the effects of that today and Christie wants to go down the exact same road. Bad policy can last for years as it did with Whitman and Obama is still having the Bush wars and tax cuts held against him by Republicans. The wars were unfortunately bi-partisan but the tax cuts were all on the Republicans.

dan its all in the public domain for all to discover but of course as scripture says long written down, none so blind as those who will not see, nor hear.
And speaking of doctrine, the Kissinger Doctrine called for low intensity engagement as a substitute for large land armies in battles scanarios no longer appilcable, and what happend? Bush the younger committed to a great land engagement ignoring the accepted logic for 8 years at terrible expenditure of treasure and blood as these pups bemoan the after effects and defend the woefull lack of audacious leadership by the excutive in Trenton during challenging times

hey dont blame me for the gop hypocracy when it comes to veterans, I am sure every news source for pages and pages when you google this is a dem msnbc sympathizer I guess you should contact all of them, get back to me when you do okay jack? Cause of course you and the other right wing propagandists cant be wrong right?

I guess so, Stew because in all your posts, myself and all the right leaning posters are either wrong or extremists. And you and any left leaning poster are always correct. And when you can't win an argument with facts and logic, you resort to name calling. Hence the polarization of America.

Prentiss, I am sympathetic to your view expressed her, but The Party Of No has obstructed the economic recovery attempts by this adminsitration after having nearly pushed the nation into default to attempt to destroy a presidency rather than act in the best interests of the republic in a statesman like manner.
And so, as far as I see it the line is drawn for the new civil war between the extreme right wing who seem to be hell bent on a suicidal scorched earth policy.
Dealing with the gvt we have means tax cuts for the uber wealthy and saddle every one else to pay for it including the Bushco $800 Billion.
Its time to push the obstructionist extreme agenda aside because there are no moderate republicans to compromise with any longer, they have been turned out.

when you are of the mind to use your true and correct legal name nose picker then you'll be taken seriously as your juvenile comments rate, till then review your republicans of note here:

like I said, when you are of a mind to come out from behind your juvenile alter ego

'Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak wants to become an Australian citizen: reports
cites no broadband access where he lives due to single line as Australia proposes state of the art infrastructure broadband.'
Guess Wozniak isnt clowning around and neither is Australia huh?
In other news, Gov Chrisitie sez if the election were held today, that would be a problem.

Bobby, the fed extended 375 hundred millions dollars for the cancelled tunnel by Mr Christie with that money going back to the fed, it had nothing to do with any bail outs. Mr Chrisites administration also lost 500 million in the education grant debacle.
Here in Wayne NJ there is a decades old hue and cry for a tunnel that will alleviate the flooding costing not just home and business owners many millions in damage and loss but the taxpayers as well, and it is highly unlikely Mr Chrisitie will afford this during his tenure.
And as this continues, there will be no economic recovery here because this governor has a crisis of economic confidence in NJ and will neither lead follow or get out of the way as the obstructionist GOP has revealed itself to be these last 4 years.

Again, Stew, where do you think the 375 million and the 500 million comes from? These are not bonds, these are tax dollars. Tax dollars come from tax payers. Try to follow along. I'll type slowly so you can keep up.

no bobby you asnswer the question where did the bushco 800 billion come from, where did the clinton surplus go, where did the bushco historic deficit come from, and who lost out on a billion dollars of chrisite administration ineptitude when the tunnel money had to be refunded to the fed, and which schools and students lost out on a 500 million dollar grant.
these are the financial facts of a long train republican ineptitude that you refuse to acknowledge

First of all, I will never deny that Bush wasn't fiscally responsible. And the Clinton surplus, which was create thanks to Newt Gingrich, was dissipated when Clinton put us in a recession. Why don't you look those historical facts up? And maybe if Corzineco and McGreeveyco didn't spend up all our NJ tax dollars cowtowing to the unions, you remember, right Stew. Corzine was sleeping with the head of the Communications union before they got a nice fat contract? And Stew, how has Obummer led? He has followed in his foreign policy by diminishing our standing as a feared super-power. Yes he got OBL, but they just got 4 of ours. Or has MSLSD not reported that to you.

Bobby P, it is all Bush's fault. Stew is right. Obama was dealt a terrible hand to fix. Just kidding! Stew, you seem to be the type of person that never lets the facts stand in the way of an argument. While you can continue to use what the Bush administration did to justify what the Obama administration has done or not done, but you fail to answer the basic question, why? Why is it ok for an administration to spend and devalue currency at an alarming rate just because a previous administration did? Would you accept the argument that since Clinton slept with an intern, it is ok for every President to do so? I think not. Obama ran on a campaign of hope and change and has not delivered on either. Our economy is not stronger, our image is not stronger, especially in the Muslim world, which he said would happen on Day 1 in office. On the other hand, you blame Christie for the state of affairs in NJ, but you conveniently let the past administrations off the hook, except for Whitman, which isn't a surprise. After reading several of your posts over a myriad of issues on this blog, I have come to the conclusion that you are a bitter man who is trying to take the place of Art Smith as the town watchdog. You find fault with the police, the current town administration, voting rights, and the people of Packanack Lake to name a few. While Art was for challenging the administration, he was always respectful. You sir are no Art Smith.

The Epic Failure of Republican Trickle Down Economics
As the historical record shows, from economic growth and job creation to stock market performance and just about every other indicator of the health of American capitalism, the modern U.S. economy has almost always done better under Democratic presidents. Despite GOP mythology to the contrary, America generally gained more jobs and grew faster when taxes were higher (even much higher) and income inequality lower. And while the U.S. recovery from the Bush recession remains painfully slow, most economists - including the nonpartisan CBO and some of John McCain's own 2008 advisers - believe President Obama saved it from the abyss.

http://crooksandliars.com/jon-perr/epic-failure-of-republican-trickle-down-economics

I must concur with Nose: blah, blah, blah.... Another quote from a leftie website. Here some real quotes from this administration: " I believe in re-distribution", "If I can't cut the deficit in half and have unemployment under 8%, I don't deserve a second term", "they are not terror attacks, they are man caused disasters", "Ft Hood wasn't a terror attack, it was workplace violence", "KSM and the other 9/11 terrorists will be tried in NYC". No myths, although I wish they were, real words by an over-matched administration. I would have included Biden's gaffes, but I feel that I won't have enough room.

The human capacity for self-delusion never ceases to amaze me, so it shouldn't surprise me that so many Republicans seem to genuinely believe that they are the party of fiscal responsibility.

I don't remember anyone saying the Republicans were the party of fiscal responsibility. All politicians are responsible for the mess we are in. You live in a world where it is someone else's fault and have an incessant need to blame and accept no responsibility. You do not hold the current Presidential administration responsible, you blame Bush. You blame Christie but you don't blame Corzine. I'm not sure if you are just a hard core Democrat or you are a hypocrit. I don't expect an answer because all your ilk ever do is question, never come up with answers.

Republican Deficit Hypocrisy
Recall the situation in 2003. The Bush administration was already projecting the largest deficit in American history--$475 billion in fiscal year 2004, according to the July 2003 mid-session budget review. But a big election was coming up that Bush and his party were desperately fearful of losing. So they decided to win it by buying the votes of America's seniors by giving them an expensive new program to pay for their prescription drugs.

Using american deaths to make some statement here only underscores the despicable sort of character you surely are.

Well, my first reaction is, I know you are but what am I? Actually your statement shows how blinded you are. You should be ashamed of this administration's handling of the economy, foreign affairs and the wars. But as usual, when you can't foster an argument, you name call.

Oh jack you are breaking my heart you know that? I never intended to bruise and offend your sensibilities for refering to you as a demagogue when you use the spilled blodd of Americans to push your personal agenda?

Sorry for the late response. I was home clinging to my guns and religion. Your response is typical of the Dems. When something offensive is said, the Dem response is the non-apology, "I'm sorry if you're offended." As usual, you continue to ignore all facts pertaining to the current administration. This is Obama's economy, not Bush's. This is Obama's war, not Bush's. I understand that your life was better 4+ years ago, but remember, you voted for him (if you are eligible to vote in Wayne).

No Jack a typical republican response is what you have enetered here, when it was Bush's war in Iraq for WMD's that did not exist, we were un american to disagree, when it was Bush that ignored Afghanistan where the 911 plot was first hatched, we were told a surge was needed, now that the troops have come home from Iraq and are to rotate out of Afghanistan, it is the Obama Biden team that has the fiduciary reponsibility to do so in a reponsisble manner and they are,
As the right called for war and more war, cooler heads prevailed in the overthrow of the Libyan despot and today the Libyan population who lament the loss 'of a friend' of Benghazi ,have risen up to drive out outlaw elements.
As their leader there pledges that justice will be served.
The Bushco ($800-Billion) bankruptcy of the American economy was not done on Obama-Bidens watch and in the examples I have referenced above time and again we read of the opinions that give credit for this administrations economic stewardship. Least we forget the GOP's attempt to push the nation in to default earlier this year?
You are a one trick pony Jack and you will ride that down to defeat because you have nothing more to articulate.
BTW? Obama-Biden up 8 in the polls.

Well, I'm glad you think the Libyan President is our friend, since when he announced it was a terrorist attack, the Prez said it wasn't and still won't call it a terror attack. Not to friendly on his part. Just watch The View from yesterday and his UN speech. Although, I'm sure you catch the View everyday. By the way, where was the Libyan security, or the Egyptian security. Great they showed up a week later. As far as bankruptcy, the Prez, when he was a junior Senator thought it was irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling. Guess he was going to flip-flopping classes with John Kerry at the time. And while we are on bankruptcy, remember how the Prez said we couldn't let GM go bankrupt, gave the another 26 Billion, then let them go bankrupt. But let me ask you this, if Obama gets re-elected, who will he blame for the previous 4 years?
