swucy would rather spin and run; he does that a lot.

Awesome! How do they compare?

Here's some numbers for you.

RALEIGH - As the North Carolina General Assembly gathered for its Oct. 2 special session on Hurricane Florence relief, the state's rainy-day fund stood at $2.01 billion.

There was another $737 million in reserves earmarked for other purposes (including $104 million specifically for disaster relief) along with an unreserved credit balance in the General Fund of $1.2 billion.

That North Carolina had billions of dollars socked away to address emergencies such as Florence was no accident. Prudently and methodically, the General Assembly has spent years building up financial reserves. Foolishly and repeatedly, critics faulted lawmakers for saving these dollars rather than spending them.

I'm starting to think old Hammy was makin' stuff up...

Man. This thread was abandoned quickly.

I'd love to see some specific examples of sterling conservative leadership.

But I'm starting to think these fellers are full of beans.

McCrory the crook. One term and done.

When McCrory took over from beaverly our state finances were in a shambles and conservative leadership has set us right.

And those numbers are...?

Truth!

You should look it up, it is very interesting.

Interesting. What are the numbers?

Due to the efforts by the North Carolina conservatives the past few years the leftist politicians (including Cooper) were prevented from spending every dime the State had. Fortunately the efforts by the conservatives in the state government has resulted in money in the State's savings account and we will be able to get through this recession without major layoffs, cuts in pay and devastating tax increases. That is not the case in many of the other states that are being ruined by the Democrats (i.e. California, New York, etc).
