I dont have a`problem with people who oppose the bill on philosophical or cost grounds. I do have a problem when they misrepresent the bill (like Bush and many Repub members of Congress did or those who say it is unconstitutional) or those who complain about its impact in a vaccum.
The net loss in NC, if in fact the study is correct, is more than offset by the $3.9 billion of tax dollars over the next 10 years from you, me and the rest of the country, to wean NC off of 50+ years of federal tobacco subsidies and prices supports (again paid all those years by tax revenue from you, me and other non-carolinians).
There are winners and losers among the states in most every federal categorical and block grant program, just as there are winners and losers among the states when it comes to overall federal spending by state per dollar of federal taxes.
NC gets back $1.10 in federal spending for every $1.00 in federal taxes. I dont think Cong. Hayes would complain about that....but Hillary, Barak, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should raise hell
