"What's the mantra going to be when May hits and spending is still in the shitter??"
"More welfare! Conservatives are mean!"

Media will demand that government increase it's borrowing and give people more money to buy the products advertised on TV. It will "Ted Cruz" any politician that stands in the way. More subsidies for Obamacare costs to make up for it's impact on advertising sales (disguised as a "for the children" appeal).

Consumer spending is mostly dependent now on government programs. The cold winter ate up the Heating Assistance subsidy for spending on products advertised on TV.

The Medicaid expansion will bankrupt the states that embrace it. You should be happy NC rejected it.

It’s handed us over to another monopoly.

NC’s government is corrupt to the core.

Always has been.
