There was a demonstration against New Jersey governor Christie's attacks on state employees yesterday in Trenton. According to Bloomberg (*&%*) News, about 3,000 attended, citing their solidarity with Wisconsin workers. There have been periodic demos in New Jersey (April, May 2010) but nothing as dramatic as Wisconsin. Yet Christie is the clearest opponent of his workers, blaming the desperate New Jersey financial situation on them. He is SO full of it!
Part of the blame, no doubt, rests with former governor Jon Corzine, former head of Goldman Sachs and also, no doubt, partly responsible for the desperate financial situation of the country.
If the workers of New Jersey do not mount a successful fight against Christie, the workers of New York State will be up to the plate sometime soon. When will people wake up? The situation calls for a transliteration from Cousin Karl: Workers of the World, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!
