If you are not outraged yet ... what will it take. North Carolina Democrats note that some 11,000 public servants, mostly from our schools have lost their jobs thanks to the Republicans and their budget. Running on the promise of fixing the economy here in North Carolina, they have mortally wounded the future of North Carolina's children. Along the way, they have done nothing to create jobs.
Unemployed people do not buy cars, houses, washing machines, clothing or toys. They draw unemployment insurance, and ... you get my meaning. K - 12 public education, community colleges, and our State university system have suffered hits from the budget makers. Had we simply kept the one cent sales tax in place, the legislature might actually have helped the economy.
On election day 2012, I hope all people who care about education and our State's economy remember the Apodacas, Davis', Guice's, etc. and give them their walking papers!
