Gov. Chris Christie will expand the state's Medicaid program to cover
300,000 uninsured New Jersey residents, The Star-Ledger learned today.
 

The governor's new budget, which he plans to unveil at joint session
of the Legislature this afternoon, also relies on state revenue growth
of 4.9 percent and delays some property tax rebates for local taxpayers,
according to three sources with knowledge of the budget plan who spoke
on the condition of anonymity.

 

 

Keep it up Christie, and my vote is going to Rand Paul in the primaries. Boo!!!!

Get ready for the RINO-ing of Christie and watch his chances of running for president in 2016 vanish in a cloud of socialized healthcare haze.

[Jay]

Screw the taxpayers, they can wait for their rebates

[Ray McKigney]

If it's going to cover 300,000 uninsured people, why is it bad?

[bakunin]

On principle for one, it is bad because social welfare leads to mediocrity and laziness. On second, the government is involved in my life with just about everything here. Taxes here are the east coast version of California, and government is in just about every aspect of your life nowadays.

"The revised Medicaid program would shift 100 percent of the costs to the federal government for these new enrollees for the first three years, then gradually taper it to 90 percent. The state could expect $1.7 billion a year to cover the costs."

Wait a minute, cost $1.7 billion? I thought this was going to pay for itself?

Coming from the person who said we should give women a tax credit for staying at home and raising their kids, this statement drew a hearty chuckle from me. Well done.

That would be short term, until the filth are weeded out and we have a nation of the Supermen.

I've run across plenty of mediocrity and laziness in places where social welfare does not exist. What actually happens is that when a person is given real incentive he overcomes the natural human states of mediocrity and laziness.

So short term socialism doesn't lead to mediocrity or laziness? Good to know. At what point do the positive benefits of socialism degrade into filth and debauchery? 5 years? 10 years? I'm dying to know.

Also, Superman was an alien. You would have hated him.

How did Superman go to school if he lacked the proper paper work?  Didn't he need to get shots?

No wonder those right of Atilla retardicans won't invite him to CPAC.  It's more than Obama hug cooties.
