This year the Democrats in North Carolina were short about $40 million for the current year's highway budget. Sure, they're billions of dollars short because they're always just a little bit short each year, so it's no big deal. At the same time they just couldn't find $40 million to repair, inspect, and maintain roads in North Carolina, they managed to find $40 million to bribe give to Goodyear. Why? Well, because the Democrats in the NC Legislature, in their infinite wisdom, have declared that they like Goodyear, and therefore they give Goodyear piles and piles of cash (taken from the taxpayer).

Governor Easley, who must have been confused about what he was signing, actually vetoed that $40 million expenditure. The Democrat Legislature is simply outraged! They're very upset that the governor would take away the dump truck loads of cash they wanted to give to their favored companies. So the Democrat Legislature is going to meet this week to attempt to override the veto.

No, they're not meeting to find a way to pave roads. They're not meeting to deal with any issue related to Constitutional duties. They're not meeting to lower taxes (I know, they're Democrats, they don't know those words). They are meeting for ONE purpose and one purpose alone: to vote to give $40 million to a private company simply because the Democrats like that company.

Can anyone explain to me how any part of that can be related to freedom in any way, shape or form? I didn't think so.
