Or as Christie calls himself, a “common sense conservative.”
Via DrewMusings:
Via @DraftRyan2016 we have another “Christie confronts voter at town hall” video that made him so famous in his first term.
The wrinkle in this one is that while he’s debating a lefty he defends himself not by making the conservative case against government healthcare but praising how much he’s expanded it already.
Sure he says he hates ObamaCare but he’s pretty proud that he’s taken the ObamaCare money to expand Medicaid (you know the system that is a total waste of money) and boasts that NJ’s Medicaid system is the 2nd most generous in the country. So you know…Conservative! Maybe even severely.
Of course being so generous with Medicaid comes at a cost in taxes and the resulting flight from New Jersey to lower tax states (via NJ refugee @johnekdahl). Now, Chrisite has done some good on taxes in NJ but to brag that their welfare benefits are so generous and he’s happily expanding them is a slap to the people who have to pay for them.
