Tom Moran explains what’s wrong with the alternative budget offered by the GOP:
Republicans tend to get defensive when they are accused of favoring the rich over the poor. That’s class warfare, we are told. And it’s just not American.
Which makes it difficult to be polite while discussing the latest Republican moves on the state budget. Because the GOP plan is crowded with efforts to take money from poor cities and shift it to wealthier suburbs.
Not that the Democrats are not doing the same thing in reverse, as Moran acknowledges, but the GOP plan is less of a serious budget than a campaign blueprint:
(O)n the whole, this plan misses the mark. It’s designed to score political points, not to offer a realistic alternative to Corzine’s proposed budget.
As if the state didn’t have enough fiscal problems.
