Last week I wrote a post about California Governor Gavin Newsom holding Californians hostage over federal bailout money.

This week New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy decided to do the same thing:

New Jersey governor warns of major cuts to teachers, firefighters, police officers and health care workers without more federal funding

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Sunday warned that key employees — including health care workers, firefighters, police officers and teachers — could be laid off if the state does not receive additional funding from the federal government.

The dire prediction from Murphy reflects what many governors across the country fear as states grapple with budget shortfalls from the economic calamity brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The Democrat and other governors have called for additional federal assistance while the White House is reluctant to provide additional funds to states. On Friday, Murphy announced the state is estimated to have a revenue loss of $10 billion.

Are you telling me that there isn’t one unnecessary bit of bullshit or waste that New Jersey could cut to fund teachers and firefighters?

Of course there is, but trimming that fat would keep politicians from lining their pockets from the government coffers and upset the donors who give money in exchange for feeding at the trough of waste spending.

That is far more valuable to politicians than teachers, firefighters, or police.

So these politicians demand that our federal taxes pay for their necessities so their state budgets can still be spent on grift and graft.

The only thing that should be sent to New Jersey is a guillotine.
