Subtitle: How to really, really waste $17 billion in dishonest and irresponsible ways.

If you live in North Carolina and feel like being ill this morning, feel free to look at the 364-page North Carolina Budget that's headed to the governor. You don't have to look far to see how fiscally reckless NC Democrats are:

$2 billion for higher education. Don't we have private colleges in North Carolina? Yes, lots of them. Why is government competing with them? Why is government providing ANY college education? That's not their job at all.

$2.5 billion for the Division of Medical Assistance. If you cannot afford anything remotely associated with medicine, feel free to come to North Carolina -- we give it to you free. That's one of many reasons why so many illegal immigrants come to North Carolina -- 100% free health care for them, provided for by the Democrats of the Legislature, paid for by the hard-working people of North Carolina.

Department of Justice: $77 million. Do you see where the Democrats' priority lies? It's not with punishing criminals. Heck, they're rewarding criminals!

There's more, and it's lots worse. How about some spending items?

Highway Fund Transfer: $16 million. That's $16 million that the people of North Carolina paid into a fund to build roads. The General Assembly takes at least $16 million a year from this fund to pay for whatever they feel like. That's irresponsible at best, blatant lying at worst.

Sales tax increase: $417 million.
Sales tax on candy: $9.8 million.
Sales tax on cable tv: $10.9 million.
Increase tobacco tax: $118 million.
Increase income tax: $39.8 million.
Expand death tax: $115 million.

These are your North Carolina Democrats in action. They are truly irresponsible. There's tons more that's worse. Good luck changing the assembly members, because they make the rules on who you are allowed to elect, and if you elect someone they don't like, they simply vote to throw out the vote of the people. There is no Democracy and very little freedom left in the state of North Carolina.
