"Why should our college students get any financial help from the government? Investing in them is a waste of government money, and the liberal way of doing things," stated Christie.
The governor added, "I don't believe it is the role of the government to help its citizens."

"American college students should be debt slaves to the predatory for-profit businesses they are coerced to take loans from. Students will be happier if they must continue living under their parents' roof and get stuck at a job they hate due to crippling student loan debt," said Christie.
Governor Christie also took the opportunity to chastise Western Europe for giving college students "education subsidies" that recognized students there as the future of the community.
