The same dude who told the press to "take a bat" to a 76 year old legislator in New Jersey for working part time and taking her pension, who also told a NJ teacher to quit when she said he was hurting educators with his "politicking", who has cut education and basically declared war on unions MUST be subscribing to the following old philosophy among R's.
Cuts for you, state helicopter for me!

Gov. Christie arrives at son's high school baseball game in State Police helicopter
LATEST UPDATE: Democratic Assemblyman John Wisniewski says Christie 'crossed the line'
TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie arrived at his son's baseball game this afternoon aboard a State Police helicopter.
Right before the lineup cards were being exchanged on the field, a noise from above distracted the spectators as the 55-foot long helicopter buzzed over trees in left field, circled the outfield and landed in an adjacent football field. Christie disembarked from the helicopter and got into a black car with tinted windows that drove him about a 100 yards to the baseball field.
During the 5th inning, Christie and First Lady Mary Pat Christie got into the car, rode back to the helicopter and left the game. During a pitching change, play was stopped for a couple of minutes while the helicopter took off.
Christie's eldest son, Andrew, was the starting catcher for Delbarton High School, in Morris Township. The governor played the same position of catcher when he was in high school.
Christie was ferried to the field in a brand-new AugustaWestland helicopter, purchased at a cost to taxpayers of $12.5 million.
