What Waste and Fraud?

The good folks over at Enlighten-NewJersey have an excellent post on the State Assembly trying to cut $400 million from next years budget in order to fund the Homestead Rebate program. The best quote was from Assembly Budget Committee Chairman Louis Greenwald: "I find it laughable that out of a $27.4 billion budget we can't find half a billion dollars in greater efficiencies and cuts,..."

Let's see... Democratic candidate for Governor Jon Corzine is going to pay for his health initiative by rooting out waste and fraud. The State Assembly can't find any waste and fraud to cut to close the $400 million deficit. Why doesn't Corzine go to Trenton and show his band of brothers where to make the cuts? It can't be that hard. Corzine's health care plan is going to cost billions and he tells us he can pay for it by cutting waste this should be a no-brainer.

Me thinks that someone here is being disingenuous.
