I’m amazed at the thumb sucking by libtards near and
far. I’ve had to read and listen to
their whining ever since republicans took control of North Carolina's General Assembly and
the governor’s office. The GOP inherited
a god awful mess and they are trying to straighten this crap out.
Decades of Democratic corruption and mismanagement
have come home to roost. Now the adults
have to step in and take the bull by the horns.
You know our state legislators are doing something right when that fish
wrap, New York Times pens a diatribe of the Tar Heel State. Their complaint is no different than the rest
of the teat squawkers that infest Raleigh on “Immoral Mondays.” Here is an excerpt, published by that other
liberal rag, the Charlotte Observer:
The cruelest decision by lawmakers
went into effect last week: ending federal unemployment benefits for 70,000
residents. Another 100,000 will lose their checks in a few months. Those still
receiving benefits will find that they have been cut by a third, to a maximum
of $350 weekly from $535, and the length of time they can receive benefits has
been slashed from 26 weeks to as few as 12 weeks.
At the same time, the state is also
making it harder for future generations of workers to get jobs, cutting back
sharply on spending for public schools. Though North Carolina has been growing
rapidly, it is spending less on schools now than it did in 2007, ranking 46th
in the nation in per-capita education dollars. Teacher pay is falling, 10,000
prekindergarten slots are scheduled to be removed, and even services to
disabled children are being chopped.
What the Times didn’t mention is
that North Carolina owes the federal government over $2 billion for unemployment
payouts. They also didn’t mention the
$178 million in benefits that was overpaid in a 12 month period of time. Now, I’m a contractor and therefore don’t
qualify for unemployment. I have to set
aside money for just such occasions. And
I guarantee you; I’m not sitting on my ass waiting for the perfect job. I have to find work, even if it means doing menial
labor.
As for making it harder for future
generations of workers to get jobs because of cutting back on spending for
public schools, I say hogwash. Local
communities should make that determination, not the state. If they need to hire teachers they can pay
for it. Also, you can have a first rate
education and no one will hire you if businesses are constantly under assault
by onerous taxation and hostile regulations.
But that kind of logic evades liberals.
A good
business climate attracts companies and stimulates an entrepreneurial spirit;
thus, people get hired and salaries grow higher. Productive citizens will not need a
government teat such as Medicaid and they can contribute to state programs via
a sales tax when they purchase an item.
I ask, what is wrong with that?
No, liberals would rather target and punish job creators, because it
makes them feel superior.
No one can ever accuse a libtard of
sound economic policies.
