Quick Jump:

  1. One:
    I will change the way our state budgets its dollars by building our budget upward. I will first determine how much money we have, then determine our most important priorities, and then fund those top priorities. Less critical programs will have to wait.
  2. Two:
    I will stop the instant renewals of ineffective programs by ending the practice of providing automatic incremental budget increases across the board, or requiring across-the-board cuts in programs. Across the board increases and cuts are an inefficient method of deciding what programs deserve increases, decreases or funding at all.
  3. Three:
    I will insist that every spending program be placed on the table for discussion come budget time before it is funded.
  4. Four:
    I will make full use of my veto pen - the absolute veto, conditional veto, and line-item veto – to shape legislative and budget policy.

For the remaining 44 points!

Governor Chris Christie's speech to the legislature in New Jersey where he said (paraphrased), "We're going to cut programs, 375 programs. We can't go on. We're bankrupt. We're cutting back. We're cutting back. We're cutting back. We're cutting back, and we are not raising taxes. As predicted, the New York-Philadelphia media has unloaded." They are attacking Chris Christie with all their might. The same thing happened when Rudy took office in New York City. It happened when Reagan took over California.

It's refreshing to see a politician that is going to do the right thing even when it hurts!

If we could do this in every state and the Federal government we just might be able to turn things around and avoid a financial meltdown. So there is hope~
