1. There's that old bullshit about "uncertainty"

"Experts said New Jersey businesses are still beset by uncertainty three years after a crippling U.S. recession, while government payrolls at the state and local levels continue to shrink."

"Uncertainty"

...The usual ass backwards explanation for lack of economic activity. People need money in their pockets. The uncertainty of whether or not you will have a job next month or if you will find a job this year is the problem.

Christie has contributed to the problem actively through his Republican policies. Just yesterday I spoke to a woman who lost her job and her boss went out of business because Christie backed out on the tunnel to NY. He did it because it was Republican policy to not let Obama have any project that might lower the unemployment rate and boost the economy.

Businesses would have no uncertainty if people with money in their pockets were out there spending it!
