In ruins, Sandy has left us a small consolation prize can be found - it is an elegant way to Governor Chris Christie (Chris Christie) the end of his crazy talk about tax cuts.
When it comes to consumption, the Governor is fond of saying that the money is not grow on trees. That is why he had to do this painful thing, he said, like to close six family planning clinics, low-income women get free cancer screenings.
It seems to have escaped him, the same logic applies to tax cuts. The governor's budget includes tax cuts, step-by-step in a cost of $ 1.4 billion per year. He had wanted to cut income tax, which will benefit the rich disproportionately. However, he reluctantly agreed to reshape the cut, the share of the middle class.
Democrats in a political box. They know this is crazy to do this, because the state budget remains in terrible shape. Trenton despite the the governor blue sky claims, credit rating dropped, his watch, mainly because of his huge pension and transportation costs will soon expire.
However, the Democratic Party does not want to be the party poopers. They do not want voters to think Christie, their friends, they are enemies. Therefore, they agreed to cut the tax case, the glare of the governor's budget forecast will come true in January, know that this is impossible.
This week, the governor said, slightly he reconsider his position after Sandy closer to reality.
