Yes it will. Coming from someone living in NJ, I can answer this. Economy is sucky right now, states are going bankrupt, NJ is no exception.
Most of this coming from former Democratic governors spending too much money, and signing off on useless projects, the unions getting too strong, and so forth. So Governor Christie (whom, I do not like by the way), is tearing through the budgets to try to get the budgets under control. Hense why he was ok with NJ Transit increasing fares and reducing service (which is honestly NJT's fault cause they're as porked as the NYC MTA).
Also why he signed on cutting education spending ad budgets, enabling that 2.5 tax increase cap, and fighting with the Dems in the legislature to get things done. He was able to sign off on a budget, though unbalanced, earlier this week.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
