The Charlotte Observer!

It is very unfortunate that the city of Charlotte has such a deplorable newspaper.

This week the local “fish wrap” published an editorial about NC’s preparedness for the upcoming recession. The article blames the NC Republican Party for failing to foresee the economic downturn. Funding and expanding Medicaid, unemployment insurance, access to healthcare and several other social benefits are cited as failures according to the one-sided article.

Apparently, the newspaper thinks NC should increase reserves for these freebies! Nowhere in the editorial does the “fish wrap” mention the Democratic party’s failed economic policies that have led to record levels of inflation (9.1% in June), record gas prices, record levels of food prices, shortages, and wreck less spending.

No, our newspaper blames the Republicans for not being prepared. I say look at the root cause and put all the effort into fixing those calamities!!!!
