Say, what do all you lefties think about Ken Geddings, Jim Black, Meridith Norris, and the lottery fiasco? Are there any old-fashioned “Good Government” type democrats left, or has the party of conscience gone completely over to the dark side?

we are shocked that this nation has been deliberately LIED into an immoral illegal war that has destroyed the credibility of the USA worldwide and left many of our soldiers crippled with the legacy of depleted uranium exposure and the taxpayers mired even deeper in debt. Have you seen the medicare/medicaid cuts that the Repugs are prososing?
the lost Iraq war is costing us up to 7 billion a month!
IMPEACH CHENEY FIRST!

THIS IS JUST SICK!
The Senate approved sweeping deficit-reduction legislation last night that would save about $35 billion over the next five years by cutting federal spending on prescription drugs, agriculture supports and student loans, while clamping down on fraud in the Medicaid program. […]
The focus now shifts to the House, where the Budget Committee voted 21 to 16 yesterday to approve a more extensive bill saving nearly $54 billion through 2010 with cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, student loans, agriculture subsidies and child support enforcement. The House measure would allow states to impose premiums and co-payments on poor Medicaid recipients for the first time.

thanks Chris for raising the issue of the situation regarding faltering dysfunctional ‘health’ and ‘human services’ programs in North Carolina.
these funding cuts coming from the feds are gonna hurt a lot of folks who have fallen through the cracks during the economic downturn.
