>Corzine tells staff to get creative. In a recent email from Corzine’s Deputy Chief of Staff Mark Matzen sent out to department heads asking them to “get creative” to show how Corzine’s economic policies were creating jobs. Gotta laugh about this with a desperate Jon Corzine trying almost anything to try to enhance his disastrous record as Governor. The only jobs created have been in the public sector but will unions continue to support the Governor,given his support for the the presidents health care plan which clearly targets union “Cadillac” health care plans? Under normal circumstances I would say he is in trouble but hey this is New Jersey so anything goes.
With nothing positive to point to Corzine seems to be penning his hopes on attacking former president Bush and the Bush record,but a high tax state like New Jersey with a large amount of high income earners benefited significantly from the Bush tax cuts .The dirty little secret as many Americans are finding out with health care is that the “tax the rich” mantra means anyone with a job is rich. The Bush tax cuts as they are repealed will have a devastating effect the states like New Jersey pushing tax rates to unsustainable levels driving even more tax payers from the state and further depressing what little is left of the once great New Jersey economy.
