North Carolina Really Sucks, Too

Quick 'n easy synopsis of how cutting unemployment benefits in North Carolina doesn't get people back to work but instead depresses the economy as a whole when the labor force shrinks, from John Quinterno and Dean Baker.  This is pretty basic shit, and nobody out there in the hinterland should be deluded enough to believe that the teabaggers in NC were interested in getting people back to work at all.  Cutting benefits is all about punishing the poors and the blacks and shit in order to push the idea that cutting taxes for rich people--people who own the government--is good policy.
