Nobody was asking about offsetting budget cuts in Joplin (Missouri, which was devastated by a tornado earlier this year), and I don’t want to hear about the fact that offsetting budget cuts have to come first before New Jersey citizens are taken care of.

You want to figure out budget cuts, that’s fine. You’re going to turn it into a fiasco like that debt-limit thing where you’re fighting with each other for eight or nine weeks and you expect the citizens of my state to wait? They’re not gonna wait, and I’m going to fight to make sure that they don’t.
