Even a Broken Clock Like Gary Schaer is Right Twice a Day

Or, in this case, “right twice in a budget cycle.”

Facts are facts. If the New Jersey Republican’s FY 2013 budget proposal had been leaner than last year’s end product AND contained tax cuts, Save Jerseyans, then the GOP could rightly say they were simply giving the people their money back.

As it stands? I’m no fan of Assembly Deputy Speaker and Vice Chair of the Budget Committee Gary Schaer’s politics in general, but he’s undeniably right about one singular thing: these particular tax cuts on the table for FY 2013 would be paid for by borrowed money.

That’s definitionally not a tax cut, folks. It’s more like a high-interest loan which WE, the people, will be on the hook for down the road. Which road? Hopefully not one that needs transporation money!

Asm. Schaer made his comments during a recent interview with NJ Today Managing Editor Mike Schneider:

Wake up, Republicans! Repudiate this nonesense now or I guarantee you’ll pay for it at the ballot box.
