Time to Roll Dem Bones Again

New Jersey can now get back to screwing up other things after the state finally passed a budget today.

I might be the only one who finds it funny that, with the Governor's house and both parts of the statehouse in Democratic hands, a government shutdown STILL occurred.

Or, that the question was not a matter of whether to raise taxes or not, but instead was a fight over how many taxes they could get away with raising.

And this isn't even the first New Jersey tax hike THIS YEAR.

Sorry, New Jersey. You elected Dems all over the place. Don't expect me to feel sorry for you. Jim Florio should have been fresh enough in everyone's memory to make one think about such likely tax increases.

Besides, if I were to go to a casino, I'd rather go to Vegas, Biloxi, Connecticut, or North Carolina than go to Atlantic City. The only reason I'd want to go to Atlantic City is for some salt water taffy.
