Chris Wallace confronted Chris Christie with 1 billion worth of cuts that hit New Jersey education as a result of Governor Christie's unwillingness to raise taxes. He had a screen of bullet points. He said the cuts caused:
*10 thousand layoffs/retirements
*larger class size
*local schools had to impose sports and bussing fees

Question: "is that the way to improve education in New Jersey?"

"Do you know why those things happened?" answered Christie. "Those things happened because the teacher's union REFUSED to take a one-year pay freeze and to contribute ANYTHING towards their health benefits. If they would have contributed one and a half percent of their salary to health benefits and frozen their pay for one year none of those layoffs would have had to occur."

Wallace seems kind of liberal here. Am I seeing things?

Thanks to those who posted this yesterday. If you missed it, take the time. This is how government should work. Chris Christie is one to watch.
