NC's Governor Bev Perdue spemds Federal Stimulus

I remember all the tax break bribes we gave Dell and the plant will probably be closed by this summer.

Yeah, the Dell debacle was pretty bad, and so was the Flextronics bust not 3 miles from my house.

Hey, it's all "stimulus" right??? Isn't that the argument? It doesn't matter what you spend it on, just as long as you spend it - even if you don't have it.

That's what they tell the married couple with 2.5 kids.... lol as long as they had a mortgage to back it up

Well, we're looking for obvious egregious examples, pork, and corruption. That way I can be specific without angering people. For instance, if I can say something like, "The NC Department of Education spent $1.5 Million on paper during 2009, which if they switched to this company offering 100% post-consumer recycled paper at $X price, we could have saved $500,000." It appeals to both sides of the aisle, you see? If, on the other hand, I said, "We should cut the NCDOE by half a million dollars" it WOULD piss people off, but the two statements actually amount to the same thing.

As to the larger cuts, indeed, some departments and programs need to be cut wholesale, but they are not as obvious on the State level as they are on the Federal level, given that most of the powers co-opted by the Federal Government are in fact reserved to the States.



That is a pretty large part of the strategy,yes. My general opponent seems to lap-dog after Perdue, so it should be an easy tie in.

Glad to see you're putting the strategy into use, I absolutely approve, that is the way to do it. PPP just polled the state and found it to be the most angry state in the union against incumbents. Nobody ended up filing to run against you in the primary, right?

Is there any place you could find all of her votes and then if it was signed into law or not? It would be cool to have a "Lucy Allen voted with Bev Perdue 96% of the time" statistic.

I thought cocaine was illegal... Funny how its OK for the Government to so "studies" with it though.

And Fetberz just pounds her, in anticipation for his run for Gov......lol....it really would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

The internet shall set us free, but we need to spread the word beyond those we normally contact.

Fetberz WILL run for Gov, the only question is who will run against him?
