++Chris Christie talked about his family moving from Newark to Livingstone to live their version of the American dream. Both parents were raised by single moms, having lost their spouses to early death. His father got into Columbia but could not afford to go to college. His father went into the military and came home to work at the Breyer's Ice Cream plant in Newark (hooray) and then went to Rutgers at night and completed his degree in accounting in six years. His mother had a hard commute taking two busses to work at the IRS.
++Now you would expect some sympathy from single-family moms,college students with enormous debt, and an appreciation of the work done at the IRS.
++But Christie is not alone in this. He wants cuts in Social Security but is softer on other aspects of the social welfare state.
++But we will hear the same saga when Walker announces and then later with Kasich. What is it that Republicans don't get about being part of a political economy that requires some of those difficulties being ameliorated?
