Chris Christie on Squawk Box

Chris Christie spent yesterday morning on CNBC's Squawk Box and was fantastic as usual. Watch this segment where he discusses the idea of tax policy and uncertainty. When the Wall Street econ geek makes the argument that there was uncertainty during the Reagan years because taxes were cut more than people thought they were going to be, Christie responds:
That is such a false, fake argument. I mean seriously...The uncertainty of lower taxes is something people can deal with. The uncertainty of not knowing if you can meet your payroll, the uncertainty of not knowing what health care is going to cost, brings paralysis.
My favorite quote from Christie on yesterday's show was his response to the question about his manner and his tell-it-like-it-is approach: "My mom's Sicilian, so I don't know any other way to act."
