The Democrat-controlled North Carolina House passed a budget for the year. The budget INCREASES spending by over 10%. The budget that the state will spend is $18,900,000,000.00 (18.9 Billion). That is 10% MORE than they spent the last year. There were no income tax cuts. Anyone who tells you differently is simply lying.

Instead, the House voted to INCREASE the individual income tax for some filers from 8% to 8.125%. Sorry folks, that's an INCREASE, not a tax "cut."

They also claim that there's no pork -- but there's not a government in the country that is spending tons of cash on pork. $6.3 million on "early intervention" projects -- taken from tobacco settlements.

More to come later this week...
