Gov. Chris Christie Slams Washington Politics As Usual |
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie scolds both Democrats and Republicans, arguing it's time to start addressing tough fiscal issues directly and stop using the silent treatment as a political strategy. He discussed a variety of issues including Social Security and what he believes needs to be done.
“I look at what’s happening in Washington D.C. right now and I’m worried. I’m worried," Christie said to a crowded room at the American Enterprise Institute, in Washington.
The Governor said leaders aren’t talking about the toughest and most important problems America faces, he called their silence on fiscal issues a political strategy being played by both Republicans and Democrats.
“The president’s not talking about it because he’s waiting for the Republicans to talk about it,” Christie said. “And our new bold Republicans we just sent to the House of Representatives, they’re not talking about it because they’re waiting for him to talk about it. Let me suggest to you that my children’s future and your children’s future is more important than some political strategy. Let me suggest to you that what game is being played down here is irresponsible and it is dangerous. We need to say these things and we need to say them out loud. ”
