I also increased the font size of the entire text

what does that mean to you?
hahahah You bolded certain parts of that letter did you not?

so far from what I've seen I like though I don't know much about him and like any politician, I doubt I'd agree with him on everything

Geez Straw. Im amazed at your endurance to post on this board. These idiots want to argue for a 2 pages on why you bolded something......Seriously  ::)

If its true what christie said then one would believe he stands for Union workers in general and thereby doesnt want to bankrupt the middle class like most repubs want to do.  Seems clear to me why youd bold that.. 8)

The discussion as to whether or not what you posted was factual or has any merit. 






I don't know enough about Christie to know if I fully support him, but some of these don't sit right.  So at least let's discuss whether or not they're even factual.


As I understand it he increased school funding around 200 mil (or so)?

I don't think the federal stimulus dollars are there anymore for him to accept.

I don't think he's touched existing pensions.  Only future pensions.  Link?

I haven't heard anything about him ending collective bargaining.  Gotta link?

If you take away collective bargaining then a business becomes a dictatorship....."Im the boss and i now want you to work for minimum wage. If not get the hell out Ive got a pile of apps"   "Now for the benefit of the company you will work saturdays or get the hell out"   "You said you have a 10 yr old daughter, bring her in for data entry work tomorrow or else dont show up tomorrow"

BTW; "Im giving some billion dollar bonuses to management for all your hard work. Thanks."

i have no reason to believe it is not factual but if you have some evidence that it's not then post it

the Wall Street Journal refenced the letter in an online article today

http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/02/19/christie-stays-out-of-wisconsin-union-battle/

If these are Christies words (and I presume they are) then you'll have to take up the question of "merit" with him and not me.    I'm not even sure what you mean by "has any merit" in this context.   If these are his words and they express his true beliefs then your question should be whether Christies beliefs have merit

probably because you're very stupid or at the least very confused

why would I need a secret agenda as an anonymous poster on an obscure message board

have I ever been shy about expressing my opinons or beliefs in this forum?

The reason the public sector has wage and benefits is because the union workers help to set it as reality. And its teachers, fireman, trash collectors and our neighbors for hells sake.  We cant give any more!!!  Its time to get the money by drawing back on wars and ending ridiculous subsidies for the ones that dont need it.
