Republicans are masters of brainwashing.
Christie’s claiming $850 in “new aid” to schools but the reality is that the $850 million allocated includes $820 million Christie’s first budget draft took away from New Jersey schools. This is how Christie math works:
Christie ignored a state Supreme Court ruling from last May calling for $500 million more for the state’s neediest school districts. After restoring $820 million of funds he himself cut in his original budget proposal, Christie’s present budget added only $30 million of school aid: he must still add $470 million to comply with Supreme Court ruling.
There are plenty of other nasty untruths in C’s new propaganda campaign where he claims to have actually helped the vulnerable of New Jersey. This Record article raises a lot of questions about Christie’s assertion. The Republican party knows that we “little people” elected Obama as part of a sweeping grassroots movement, so Christie and his friends wish to cripple us so badly we will lack the heart and spirit to make Obama president for a second term. Apparently, we “little people” don’t have the power at this time to prevent people like Christie from hitting us where it hurts most – by attacking our children’s education and reducing funds for childcare, healthcare and social services for our community members. But we certainly can speak truth to each other and be strong together, and we must vote for Democratic candidates in every election.
Christie seems to be undermining everyone.
