Little Ferry Resettlement Announcement -- July 30, 2013. (Transcript Below)
GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE: I was asked a question at a forum in Aspen and I gave an answer. Now I know that for politicians in Washington DC this a completely foreign concept. They think that there has to be some like master plan behind every utterance you make. You've covered me long enough to know that there often is not. If you ask me a question, I give an answer. That's what people expect from people in public life and that's what I did, so, I have nothing personal against Senator Paul. If we disagree on certain issues, we disagree. You know it's seeming his response seems to be that he has something personal against me, but that's OK. He can just get in line on that front, and secondly I find it interesting that Senator Paul is saying, accusing us of having a "gimme, gimme, gimme" attitude towards federal spending when in fact New Jersey is a donor state and we get 61 cents back on every dollar we send to Washington, and interestingly, Kentucky gets $1.51 on every dollar they send to Washington, so if Senator Paul wants to start looking at where he's going to cut spending to afford defense, maybe he should start looking at cutting the pork barrel spending that he brings home to Kentucky at $1.51 for every dollar, and not look at New Jersey where we get 61 cents for every dollar, so maybe Senator Paul could, you know, deal with that when he's trying to deal with the reduction of spending on the federal side, but I doubt he would because most Washington politicians only care about bringing home the bacon so that they can get reelected.
