I see, a lot of this is actually for the better (My Opinion)
1. Unemployment Benefits: Better
2. Tax Overhaul: Better
3. Racial Justice Repeal: Worse
4. Fracking: Better
5. Medicaid Expansion: Better
6. Voting Laws: Better
7. Gun Laws: Worse
8. Education: Better
9. State Religion: Worse
If you want to know why I feel this way on any of these just ask.
How is it "better" that they are:
*slashing unemployment benefits
"ending federal unemployment benefits for 70,000 residents. Another 100,000 will lose their checks in a few months. Those still receiving benefits will find that they have been cut by a third, to a maximum of $350 weekly from $535, and the length of time they can receive benefits has been slashed from 26 weeks to as few as 12 weeks. "
*cutting education
"cutting back sharply on spending for public schools. Though North Carolina has been growing rapidly, it is spending less on schools now than it did in 2007, ranking 46th in the nation in per-capita education dollars. Teacher pay is falling, 10,000 prekindergarten slots are scheduled to be removed, and even services to disabled children are being chopped.
“We are losing ground,” Superintendent June Atkinson said recently, warning of a teacher exodus after lawmakers proposed ending extra pay for teachers with master’s degrees, cutting teacher assistants and removing limits on class sizes. "
*not expanding Medicaid
*cutting income taxes for rich while raising sales taxes on everyone else
*cutting back on early voting and Sunday voting
*ending a tax deduction for dependents if students vote at college instead of their hometowns
Slashing Unemployment Benefits: This should motivate you to get a job. The only people that should be receiving benefits are the people looking for jobs.
Cutting income taxes for rich while raising sales taxes on everyone else: I though it was a flat cut for everyone, a cut just for the rich is completely unfair and I disagree with it.
Cutting back on early voting and Sunday voting: I never read about this, but this sounds stupid, however raising voter ID laws reduces fraud which is what I agree with.
Not expanding Medicaid: Only should be used for poor people who really need it. There should be no "fakers" out there reaching out to Medicaid when they don't need it, so I think this is for the better and worse.
Education: Expanding the voucher system lets parents choose the kind of school they want.
Ending Tax Deduction: Disagree
