Chris Christie had some particularly harsh words for President Obama during a speech in New Hampshire Tuesday.
The New Jersey governor and potential GOP presidential candidate alleged during a speech at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester that the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve have only exacerbated income inequality in the United States, according to Reuters.
“The Fed’s easy money policies and the president’s anti-growth policies have made the rich even richer and made our middle class work longer and harder for less pay and less promise for their future,” Christie declared.
The presidential contender went on to explain what his economic plan for the country would look like should he decide to jump into the 2016 race.
Christie named overhauling the tax code, scaling back regulations instituted by Obama, and lowering tax rates as actions he would take as president.
Additionally, the New Jersey lawmaker affirmed that he would do away with payroll taxes for individuals under age 21 and over 62.
After delivering his remarks at the university, Christie attended a town hall meeting in Pembroke, New Hampshire, Tuesday evening. The state — which Christie has previously identified as one he could win in the 2016 general election — is a crucial early-voting state for presidential candidates.
