Via Charlotte Business Journal:North Carolina has received $20.3 million in federal funds as a first step in a plan to establish a high-speed rail link between Charlotte and Raleigh.
Gov. Bev Perdue sees nothing wrong in relying on the federal government for a state dole. She does not seem to realize that true state health is created from within the state and not simply handed down from above. Creating an expanding economy through government spending is like a rabbit picking itself up by its own ears.
“This award is an exciting first step in the state’s partnership with the federal government to make high-speed rail a reality in North Carolina and the Southeast,” Gov. Bev Perdue says in a prepared statement. “For our citizens, it means jobs, economic development, reduced congestion and a cleaner environment.”
Apparently it does not a occur to Bev Perdue that NC's reliance on such a dole is an example of not only her failed leadership, but NC's miserable economic conditions.
A healthy NC would be able to provide for its own needs. A properly managed and run NC should not need to go to the federal government with a hand in need extended.
When will leadership begin?
End result: Bev Perdue's weakens NC through a reliance on the state dole while strengthening the federal government's hold on our state.
The strength of Federalism is on hold under Bev Perdue.
