Gov. Christie: Nation turning into people sitting on a couch waiting for their next government check

14. Let's see

We have an aging society where boomers are beginning to retire and a struggling global economy where jobs are scarce. This naturally leads to more and more people needing to rely on social security, medicaid, unemployment and food stamps. If republicans like Christie want to reduce the number of people relying on such programs they need to get serious about doing more to encourage job growth, to keep good paying jobs in the US, to make sure employers provide a living wage and health care benefits so that families do not have to turn to government programs. Instead it seems their stance is to cut programs to those in need during their darkest hour, to abandon the minimum wage and allow corporations to continue to outsource and not provide health care benefits. And further to demonize those in need by calling them lazy free loaders. This is why republicans appear as cruel lunatics to anyone with even half a brain.
