Economic Consequences of Republicans

There was a major Republican takeover of state governments in 2010. Subsequent job losses were most severe in a handful of GOP-controlled states. North Carolina is among the states with severe job losses among government workers. The losses would not have been so severe and unemployment would have been lower, except for the legislature's override of Governor Perdue's budget veto.

That same budget attacked Pamlico County by imposing ferry tolls on our highways.

The Nation has an excellent article analyzing the economic consequences of the takeover. Well worth reading.
