BRIDGE BRIEFING: The Case Against Chris Christie
The case against Chris Christie: The Economy
New Jersey’s economy is not recovering under Christie
“The Jersey Comeback.” The once prevalent slogan of Chris Christie has faded from use as its contrast with reality has sharpened. Under the failed economic leadership of Governor Christie, New Jersey has not enjoyed the fruits of recovery as the rest of the nation climbs back from the economic crisis. The unemployment rate has remained one of the highest in the nation, while the state experienced economic growth worse than all but three states in 2011. Those jobs that have been created have come from below-average paying industries. Despite the overwhelming evidence, Gov. Christie has been ignorant of the state’s economic troubles, complacent in his policies that are leaving the New Jersey families behind.

REALITY CHECK: Paul Ryan & Food Banks
By now it’s well known that Paul Ryan’s impromptu photo op at a soup kitchen was nothing more than a cheap stunt. What hasn’t been noted, though, is that Paul Ryan’s plan would slash government funding for crucial programs and food banks that provide food assistance for needy Americans — the same Americans Ryan was pretending to help.
