GK Butterfield of NC-1 is attempting to vilify Ashley Woolard for having the temerity of suggesting that education is best administered from no greater than the state level.
According to Washington Daily News:
“This radical plan would be devastating,” Butterfield is quoted as saying in the release. “Many of our schools rely heavily on these monies to serve their most at-risk students, and less-affluent students often need help to go to college.”
It seems Butterfield is unaware that the education funding he argues we are so dependent on in NC comes from us, the tax payer, first. These monies do not simply materialize in the hands of Washington politicians and departments.
When the money is not directly generated by the tax payer it is brought into existence by growing the national debt which the tax payer has to pay back in time.
Butterfield is arguing that we should send our education funding dollars to the federal government (of which he is a part) so that the federal government can return our money to us through the US. Dept. of Education with strings attached. He clearly feels it is best that these dollars run through the hands of governance so that he can more effectively influence the nation.
Do we really want our education dollars sullied by the Dept of Education? Why not simply keep our money in state?
This is an obvious example of Butterfield's penchant for growing Federal influence at the expense of local influence by funneling dollars through his hands and skimming off either influence or even a few per diem dollars.
Butterfield -- once again representing DC at the expense of NC.

Happily done.
ReplyDeleteWoolard must a crazy fascist alien socialist from Kenya if your blog supports him.
ReplyDeleteFascism according to Wiki:
ReplyDelete"Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy."
"Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[15] They claim that culture is created by the collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus they reject individualism.[15] Viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, they see pluralism as a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety.[16][17]"
So,
--Fascists believe in a strong central government while the Tea Party believes in federalism. Liberals in America believe in a strong central government, though.
--Fascists reject individualism while the Tea Party believes in a strong sense of individualism through liberty. Liberals believe in minimizing individual influence through ObamaCare, Cap & Trade and a myriad of social programs that create dependency, though.
--Fascists also believe in a high degree of influence or outright ownership of industry all of which the Tea Party rejects (Bailouts, TARP, Auto Bailouts, GM ownership). Liberals support all these bills, though.
This charge of Fascism by liberals truly is another example of projection.
Reassess yourself.
