If for some lucky reason there happens to be growth while a Republican is in office....they claim it's their policy. But their policy is to destroy the credibility of the Federal government in the eyes of the masses - except in matters of empire. So Christy ruining the credit of NJ works great for the Republicans because after all - as Reagan said - government is not the answer - it's the problem. It's similar to calling ALL of Congress - a do-nothing Congress....Republicans LOVE that - because it destroys faith in the entire Federal system. LETS NOT HELP THEM!
