>Christie says U.S. fiscal crisis could hurt national security
Gov. Chris Christie today delivered a wonkish economic policy speech that was peppered with politics to an audience at the Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank at Stanford University.
The Republican governor said the nation’s fiscal crisis has national security implications.
“America will always be admired for its freedom, its liberty and its economic power,” he said in the California talk, which was streamed live online. (Portnoy, The Star-Ledger)
