Responsibility: Obama and Corzine

President Obama makes a habit of blaming everyone in the past(Bush, Clinton, Reagan) every time he wants to ram through some massive spending plan. For example, Bush was at fault because he ran a deficit. However, Obama's projected deficit over the next 10 years based on the budget he passed, the stimulus he rammed through and the spending he is proposing will be more than the deficits of EVERY President before him added together. Now the President is losing sleep over it:

President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that worrying about US finances "keeps me awake at night" but defended increasing government spending to prevent the recession from worsening.

Fast forward to Jon Corzine. He refuses to take any responsibility for the explosion in new taxes and spending on his watch, the increase in the state employee roles while private sector jobs collaps and his crowning glory, New Jersey's highest tax burden of any state. Click here to see the numbers.

Corzine says he is dealing with what has occurred. Noone told him to spend like he has the past several years. Noone told him to borrow long term to pay today's operational shortfalls. The voters told him they didn't want state funded Stem Cell research but he tried to do it anyway. And is was Corzine that said the he "didn't take this job to be scrooge".

It's time for Jon Corzine to go. And if the next guy is scrooge, so be it. This state needs a penny pincher because we haven't had one in some time.
