Trenton NJ, The Governors State of the State message  was just another brew of New Jersey Stuck on Stupid Economics . The governor once again continued to promote his vision of a “fairer and stronger” economy, with the answer to everything being to raise taxes . Our question is once again fairer for who?,strong for who?  He of course  failed to address the “pension black hole ” , and reigning in the idiotic spending and regulatory over reach in the state, leading to the current affordability crisis.

The Murphy agenda seems to be drive all the business out of the state , and replace residents will illegals and criminals .

The massive numbers of Garden Stater’s fleeing the state or looking to flee the state in the next 5 years taking their assets and spending power with them guaranteeing to make matters far worse . Nothing said in the state of the state would make anyone change their mind . Its just the same old same old from the state house .Begging the question; will the state survive two more years of Phil Murphy and his Stuck on Stupid Economics.

It’s common in the Christmas season, New Year’s, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day Weekend, and others such as July 4th and when there’s a major NFL league game. Unfortunately, this is also when some drivers and other road users are intoxicated and behind the wheel. Out of the frustration from getting stuff in traffic, some road users just lose their cool and end up driving recklessly. Simply put, there’s a lot that goes on on the roads during busy days, and this tends to increase the likelihood of accidents.
