WTF?

"Last month, [North Carolina's] public sector shed 10,200 jobs statewide.

Should we continue to reelect the same under performing leadership?

Didn't Greensboro give out raises this fiscal year?

In Greensboro..., last month’s jobless rate hit 10.8 percent,
equal to the rate a year earlier and up from 9.9 percent in January.

So what did our leaders do?

Borrow as much money as possible

to buy votes

to retain power?

...unemployment rates rose in 91 of the state’s 100 counties.

...68 counties had rates of 10 percent or higher compared with 56 in May.

So what did our leaders do?

Doubled what we owe

so our political and elite class could live off everyone else's lower incomes?

...Greensboro-High Point metropolitan area,
which includes Guilford, Randolph and Rockingham counties
...had more unemployed people in June (39,307) than it had in January (38,437).

Why would Greensboro reduce the police department budget

more than $2.6 million over two years

to pay principal and interest for a swimming pool ect...

for the benefit of the few

who fund large percentages of our political campaigns?

Since the start of the recession in 2007, North Carolina has lost 301,100 jobs,
or 7.2 percent of its employment base,
and has seen its unadjusted jobless rate jump from 4.7 percent to 10.4 percent.

Are most of the political promises about jobs we're hearing

from Greensboro City Council candidates

complete bullsiht?

In June, only 55.8 percent of working-age Tar Heels had jobs
compared to 62.4 percent in December 2007.

Don

Are some of Greensboro's elected leadership,

of which some appear to have been “purchased” by entrenched special interests

through campaign donations funneled tthrough "media outlets"

like the Rhino Times

via political and business advertising

supporting “chosen” for-profit businesses

in exchange for continued political power

at the expense of most of Greensboro and Guilford County residents?

Are some coming to realize that what could be an oligarchy
of a majority of Greensboro’s elected & past political leadership,
some elite business interests and news executives
have set upon the course of transferring wealth
out of the hands of taxpayers and small businesses to a select chosen few,
while the overwhelming majority of the population remains unaware?
