NJ Democrats pass fantasy budget with massive tax hikes and wealth transfers

They huffed and they puffed and Chris Christie will line-item-veto them into irrelevance anyway.

Fairness? What is this "fairness" of which He Would Be Governor speaks? We've had a succession of Democrat governors and legislatures, all espousing "fairness," and all failing miserably to honor their obligation to the pension fund. Because buying votes always trumps "fairness." Now Sweeney is peeved because Chris Christie plans to do the same thing every Democrat governor before him has done?

I think the word for that is "chutzpah," not fairness.

Besides, when do the taxpayers get our chance at this "fairness" thing? We're pretty damn tired of paying through the nose for bloated, inefficient, duplicative government. Revenue shortfall my ass! The budget Christie originally proposed is bigger than last year's. Sweeney's plan outspends him by another 3.3%. We have plenty of revenue, what we don't have is anyone willing to rein in spending.

Oh, and looky here, geriatric loon Loretta Weinberg (D-Abortion, Inc.) snuck in her state subsidy for the charnel houses of Planned Parenthood, again. Christie's vetoed that nonsense at least 5 times already, but hey, why not showboat for the merchants of death in one more blast of futility?

Under the guise of "fairness" the Democrats are up to their same old tricks — tax and spend, wealth redistribution, and pandering for votes. They haven't had a new idea in more than 50 years. Meanwhile the rest of us have figured out that yes, you eventually do run out of other people's money.
