Thats a nice chunk of change for NC tobacco growers to ease the pain of withdrawal from years of getting "welfare" from the feds for growing an addictive product. |
It is not a surprise that people do what they think is in their best interest, nor is it a surprise that those who fail to support what you support are; screwed up/have dishonest motives/hacks/etc. while those who do support what you support is always looking out for the good of mankind. Honest people can disagree on this bill for a number of reasons that don't have anything to do with not wanting to help poor children.
It get tiresome hearing the same talking point over and over from the left saying anyone who is against SCHIP is against helping poor children. Perhaps it is time for a new talking point. Don't you agree?
