NJ citizens to Christie: Cut don’t tax!

Posted on 24 November 2009

An amazing poll was reported on today on Philly.com (from the AP):

Most New Jersey voters surveyed say Gov.-elect Chris Christie should wield an ax and not a tax to help budget the state’s budget.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday shows 75 percent of voters surveyed support a wage freeze for public employees. Even Democrats and union households back that strategy.

Sixty-one percent also support layoffs compared to 33 percent.

Sixty-eight percent say Christie should cut programs and services and 23 percent support higher taxes.

For a long time, we have listened to politicians like Jon Corzine and leading state Democrats telling us that NJ citizens will not stand for significant programs cuts. I think that this poll leaves those kinds of opinions open to serious re-interpretation. It appears that the people have finally realized that the government balance sheet has two sides, revenue (taxes) and costs (spending). We’ve certainly tried the tax side. About time the state paid attenntion to the spending side.
