One of the seminal moments of the Obama Administration was the election of Chris Christie (R) over Corzine (D) as Governor in New Jersey earlier this year. And now, he is "bringing it" with respect to the campaign rhetoric to actual government – the spending is stopping because the funds aren’t there.
What most Democrats are saying right now, especially here in NH, is that "we must tighten the belts, look around, and taxes must be raised to keep the budget in check".
Christie just told the New Jersey political world the opposite – the state checkbook has been put in the safe, only he has the combination, and it isn’t coming out any time soon:

If only ALL Conservatives, if ALL Republicans were to adopt the same mode in the face of the fiscal insanity caused by Progressives (both Democrats and Republicans): "just saying "No"….
