Shared sacrifice my a$$

So Governor Christie has been preaching about shared sacrifice. About how all New Jerseyans must suffer because the economy is so tough. About how, in his twisted mind, nobody should gain from anybody's loss (tell that to Goldman Sachs by the way!!). How those bastard teachers should burn in hell due to receiving pay raises and pensions as promised in legitimate collective bargaining agreements.

Shared sacrifice for all. . . except Governor Christie and his friends. Seems while he has been toiling feverishly, cutting budgets and turning school districts upside down, he has managed to increase his own payroll by $2 million. That's right - his executive staff is getting $2 million more than the governor he replaced.

What a complete load of crap this is. On the one hand we all must suffer - unless you are a friend of Christies, in which case you either get a tax cut (see Mrs. Christie and all others who make more than $400,000 per year) or a pay raise (see Mr. Christie's cabinet members, etc).

Seems like a double standard here, Mr. Christie. As painful as it is, I think it's time you looked in the mirror - there you will find the biggest impediment to a successful governorship - yourself.
