Paying for ObamaCare
RALEIGH (By John Hood, Carolina Journal Online) – With budget deficits, lingering recession, and both chambers of the General Assembly up for grabs this fall, North Carolina voters have a lot to think about. But right now, it looks like the single-biggest factor shaping North Carolina politics will be the U.S. House vote to nationalize health care.
Most North Carolinians didn’t want it. Most North Carolinians would have preferred that Congress and the Obama administration focus on measures to enhance economic growth, rather than socking the economy in the jaw. Most North Carolinians motivated to come to the polls in November will want to hear how their elected officials will repeal ObamaCare and replace it with real health care reform that respects America’s traditions of federalism, individual liberty, and competitive markets.
They aren’t going to like what they hear from Democratic candidates. Liberals in other states and in safe seats may feel good about what happened in Washington last weekend. But many Democratic politicians in North Carolina feel a sense of dread. They’re not dumb.
