Teacher pay and per pupil spending are atrocious, wages are stagnant, social services and other agencies are losing funding, and by 2019 we are suspecting there will be a massive budget shortage, but yea, whatever you say Thom!

Not to mention you are getting ready to head to conference on tax reform that looks to lead to cuts to Medicaid/Medicare/Social Security. Even more awful things headed for NC thanks to you.

You have betrayed our trust. You represent the billionaires, not us working folk. You should be ashamed.

This is why I want to clean house and get new reps in. Neither Tillis or Burr have any idea about how things work outside of Raleigh and Washington. I don’t want to run personally. Need to find someone else.

I wonder if Tillis shares Grassley’s sentiments? I know Burr does....

You're good at avoiding reality
@SenThomTillis: - No mention of defunded schools. - No mention of projected budget shortfall in 2019 - No mention of other infrastructure woes left unaddressed.

@SenThomTillis@SenatorBurr@RepHolding@virginiafoxx@RepMarkWalker@RepDavidRouzer@RepRichHudson@reppittenger@PatrickMcHenry@RepMarkMeadows My stepfather was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2014 and fought it through 2015. He won. He’s been clear for two years now. Thread 1/ -
He was a career and lifelong
pilot from a family of pilots. But after the battle his health is shattered. He’s had to accept his limitations and is only able to fly part time (skydivers so he’s having fun right?). Thankfully my mother is in software dev so she’s able 2/ -
Pay the bills and put
on the table. But they’ve made sacrifices. It took a go fund me account to keep them going with chemo, radiation, specialists, surgery, special diet, care for my youngest brother while on a single income and FMLA ran out. They were hit hard financially 3/ -
There aren’t college funds for my youngest brother or middle brother anymore. My parents worked their entire lives, went to school, raised good kids and did everything by the book but the life they were trying to build is gone. They’re both in their 50s, have continued to work 4/

But one of the things they’ve relied on is knowing my stepfather won’t have a lifetime limit on insurance, that he can’t be denied coverage because of the lymphoma, that they’re able to deduct medical costs, they’ll be able to deduct student loans for my brothers’ college... 5/

But your tax bills, your votes, your position on the some of the worst economic policy in recent history, has terrifies them and myself. We have all reached out to our representatives through email, phone, letters, to say please do not do this. Please look at other options. 6/

But in every single state - California, Tennessee, North Carolina - where my family lives we have been ignored. Their story is a cautionary tale of what can happen to a bright, driven, working family in our country with a single cancer diagnosis. It can kill, yes, but it can 7/

Drag an entire generation down with it. I have no idea how you can vote to take away

No sir, it does not. These statistics have little or nothing to do with NC tax reform. The
#ncga's regressive tax scheme missed the mark. -
So numbers don’t matter only feels? Got it.

You’re either not very bright or you’re a liar. The economy as a whole has been on a steady incline for 8 years now. A rising tide lifts all ships. These are the facts.

Almost... he’s both NOT BRIGHT as well as A LIAR. And to that a rubber stamp for McConnell and you have yet another useless Senator from NC, a time honored tradition.
