#1 This guy is one of the "National Democrat Leaders." This is what they have planned, raise taxes or else.

#2 "The order allows Corzine to keep 36,000 state employees working without pay."

This clown's on track to becoming even more popular than Jim Florio.

#3 Take solace in the 3 facts I find most entertaining about this goofball:

1) he spent several millions of his own money to prove that his Senate career was an accurate predictor of what could be expected - without the cover of numbers

2) he's not in the Senate anymore, screwing all of us

3) if you don't live in NJ you can laugh your ass off with impunity. If you do live in NJ, my condolences, but NJ did elect him.

:)

#5 "The order allows Corzine to keep 36,000 state employees working without pay."

Ummm, I seem to remember something about Lincoln and slavery; can't quite put my finger on it at the moment. It was a while back, though, to maybe it no longer applies.

Or maybe it only applied in Southern states....

#6 Sorry Barbara, but back in the 70s when the Dems controlled the Congress, we spent a month without pay in the military as they whined and squelled about the Defense Budget. We were told not to cash the checks cause they'd bounce. This wasn't a classic another 30 day extension thingy either. Finally in the second month, Congress did do an extension for the rest of the year. No new monies, no pay raises, all sorts of complications. So while we were eventually repaid for month, there was no pay in the bank. Which meant of course families couldn't count on paying rent, utilities, and arrangements were made for them to eat in the dining facilities. The Dems then and now had no shame.

#7 Yep, the fall of '79. Followed by the "Voting with Their Feet' over the next three years.
