Phil Murphy said Monday that New Jersey could be headed toward an \u201cArmageddon\u201d scenario, with an inability to fund public schools and police, if it doesn\u2019t receive more federal assistance due to the coronavirus pandemic.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><i>Murphy, a Democrat, said on CNBC\u2019s \u201cSquawk Box\u201d\u00a0that New Jersey\u2019s revenues \u201chave fallen off a table\u201d due to the coronavirus.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">\u201c<i>Our costs are going up serving folks who have lost their jobs, small businesses that have been crushed, folks who are in the health-care system, et cetera,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><i>New Jersey officials have previously signaled that the state could begin to experience a cash crunch in four to six weeks. Asked by CNBC\u2019s Becky Quick\u00a0whether that could mean an inability to pay teachers and police officers, for example, Murphy said,\u00a0\u201cthat\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m talking about.\u201d<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">I have heard on the radio that Murphy thinks he is just like Winston Churchill during World War II. What an inflated ego this governor has! The man has no idea how to lead, he has to drag us along. For the simple reason that he does not understand the common New Jerseyan. And his arrogance just gets in the way. The man does not understand that we the people of New Jersey are not a bunch of sheep to be lead around blindly by him or anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">His &#8216;Chicken Little&#8217; behavior and attitude just proves that this man does not deserve to be governor. Plus he doesn&#8217;t understand how his actions during the Covid-19 crisis has undermined both the heath and economy of the people of this state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">A true leader does not go about trying to scare people into doing what he wants. What he should have done is persuaded the people of this state by showing us clear and concise reasoning, not calling us names and dictating from above. We don&#8217;t need a dictator, what we need is for Murphy to step down now and someone more competent to take the reins of office before this state crashes and burns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">That is my opinion- Jumpin Jersey Mike<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"qwmnq6a664333d2a6b\" ><script async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script>\n<a data-pin-do=\"embedBoard\" data-pin-board-width=\"150\" data-pin-scale-height=\"60\" data-pin-scale-width=\"800\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mkendallpk\/stuff-for-sale\/\"><\/a>\n\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n.qwmnq6a664333d2a6b {\r\nmargin: 5px; padding: 0px;\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.qwmnq6a664333d2a6b {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.qwmnq6a664333d2a6b {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.qwmnq6a664333d2a6b {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.qwmnq6a664333d2a6b {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.qwmnq6a664333d2a6b {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil Murphy is no leader!
