Your Stimulus Dollars at Work

If this governor an the former governor had worked harder at manging state government agency's eairlier on. instead of waiting for the cow to be let out of the barn then there would't have to be the furloughs of state employees an the drastic cuts they need to quit trying to run state goevrnment as a business an run it as a state government agency that it is . if businesses were allowed to operated with deceficts they would need to have to be bailed out by the taxpayers of this nation but since we have got such a great governor an legisture running the states government we don't have this to worry about. oh thats right though they are having to be bailed outwith taxpayers funding. they also need to stop the coporate give aways / coporate welfare in the form of tax breaks an the stupid incentives programs to give coporation funding just to bring a few mimumin wage jobs to north carolina that usually end up not even being worth the incentives that were given away to start with i say it is time to stop punishing state employees for the legistures stupid spending priorities period . had my say

Are there ANY crumbs leftover for the broke NC Symphony, Bev? How did they all of a sudden show up broke?

If I may point out, George Bush spent more federal dollars than any previous Republican president and helmed the first $700 billion bailout that went largely unaccounted for. Also, the man's vaunted tax cuts were scheduled to sunset in 2010 - once he left office - because they were completely unsustainable, and his buddies in Congress knew as such.

We need to lose the partisan fingerpointing - both sides of the aisle spend ridiculous amounts of money on ridiculous projects. Bush and his crack squad torched Republican credibility. Deal with it, regroup, offer countermeasures that actually make sense in what is easily the greatest economic challenge of our time. But don't scream Democrat, Democrat, Democrat in the echo chambers of the internet and expect anyone to care.

It is not my tax dollars - Obama and the Democrats in Congress are spending money now but they do not have any plans to pay for all of this money they are spending. So it will be future generations who will be having to pay for this spending - pretty sweet deal!!! I wonder if I can got out and spend alot of money and have my children pay for it??
