Christie's point is that he feels it's essential to balance NJ's budget. This means he must cut environmental protections, safety measures, the library services, etc., rather than (say) increasing taxes on those people who can easily afford to contribute more, or even, just as a token, reducing the perks enjoyed by NJ's legislators.
You can tell the difference between barbarians and civilized people by the means they select to solve a problem. Gov Christie's choices clearly indicate he doesn't give a fig about human life and that he regards culture and continuing education as unimportant -- i.e., that he's a barbarian.
