Governor Christie of New Jersey Shows How To Ruin the Economy

• Of an Entire 3 State Area
• And Beyond Forever
• Decisions that have harmed nearly everyone

A Character-Based Leadership View

This is absolutely not intended to be a political statement. It is about the consequences of poor decision-making.Single-handedly, this governor has shown a massive amount of ignorance about how transportation and interstate access is an absolute necessity to attract and retain and enable productive companies to ensure jobs. Oh yes and there is more. The amount of money, mind you, taxpayer money, down the drain is in the millions. The amount of money lost to industries and earned income through jobs and service industries and community development is in the billions. Great hopes for the area vanished overnight.

He showed that he did not understand how the Federal government picks up the major share of costs on projects like this because it affects both millions of dollars and millions of people…positively

Put aside the apparent, dramatic contention between the governor and the Congressional Budget Office on the costs of the tunnels. There may have been error and distortion that some have called lies. It could have been resolved quite easily if he wanted to make a good decision. Let’s just “forgeddaboudit”.

Yes the governor got to convey his great sense of confidence and stuck it to Obama and everyone else. Now he is being elevated to a lofty position as potential vice president on the Republican ticket with Governor Romney. It could be said, but not by me, that it was all political. His motivation doesn’t really matter to me. What matters is that his actions have damaged and deeply harmed a massive amount of people for many years to come. They could have contributed to the growth of this not too vigorous economy.

He Did Not Back Down At A Key Meeting This Week.

It was an ignorant and albeit a highly applauded reiteration of how to continue to stick it to the federal government by a “tough” governor who did an idiotic and counterproductive act. Will he do it again and more? It is highly likely.

No, this is not a political piece of side taking. The governor’s is a flagrant use of power. I hope the people of New Jersey will not let him get out of the state to avoid the high taxes.
