Know the Facts: US Economy
“Often elected leaders stretch the facts to fit a specific narrative. In recent weeks, national and local GOP leaders have bent over backward to make misleading statements about the US economy. Let’s have some straight talk…”

The Saga of Two Boards
Sixty percent of the voters approved a school bond referendum for $68 million to repair and renovate Rosman Middle/High and Brevard High in 2018. Priorities included enhanced student safety and security at both schools, new high school classrooms in Rosman, and a new auxiliary gym and kitchen/cafeteria in Brevard. Five years later, none of that has happened.

Republican Secrets Harm Everyone
Republican leaders downplay charges of “secret police” tactics, but their denials are unconvincing. The law authorizes Gov Ops staff to enter “any building or facility” owned or leased by a state or non-state entity without a warrant.

When Gov Ops agents enter a private residence, the person must stay quiet about the entry and cannot seek outside help. If the Gov Ops team deems them uncooperative, they could face criminal charges.

Reducing Taxes Hurts Everyone
Any loss from the corporate income tax is covered by the increased income taxes from the workers.
Democrats Tackle Climate Change
The Democratic Party’s multilayer approach involves growing our economy and combating climate change at the same time by investing in solar and wind energy, upgrading our power grid using 21st century technologies, retrofitting buildings and homes to be more energy efficient. Right now across North Carolina, charging stations for electric vehicles are being built with funds from the Inflation Reduction Act to pave the way for more EV use.
