GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE
2012 STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS
Remarks As Prepared For Delivery
"The New Jersey Comeback Has Begun"
Trenton, New Jersey
January 17, 2012
Lt. Governor Guadagno, Madam Speaker, Mr. President, Members of the 215th Legislature, Members of our Congressional Delegation, Members of the Supreme Court, our former governors and the people of the State of New Jersey:
This has been a difficult week for all of us who work in this State House and are committed to public service. Over one week ago, we lost our friend Alex DeCroce. During this week, we have celebrated his life in this chamber, at his wake, at his funeral mass and, undoubtedly in the homes of the thousands of New Jerseyans whose lives he touched during his 23 years of service in the Assembly. We cap that week of recognition today by flying all flags on government buildings across our State at half staff in Alex's honor. Now, if you will all please join me in a moment of silence to honor Alex's life and legacy.

Deficit Reduction: It's Time to Get Serious
Are you concerned about the national deficit? You should be. Our national debt is approaching $15 trillion dollars and federal deficits are projected at or above one trillion dollars a year for the foreseeable future. Although policy makers understand that we cannot sustain the current path, they are struggling to find common ground on a plan to reduce the federal deficit.
