    Now that the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 is making Swiss banks cooperate with the IRS and identifying Americans that have stashed money in overseas banks it sure would be nice to know how many of those folks were members of Congress so I will know who to vote for when it comes election time.

    Re; Healthcare. How Republican of you! To deny the residents of this state Federal money is a travesty. You indicate that you don’t trust the Federal Govt to keep it’s promise regarding the funds. What a “sham”! The funds will be there; and if by some slim chance the Fed recalls on it’s promises of funding down the road, the state can opt out!!! This was a Win/Win situation for the states citizens and you have chosen to take the typical republican cop out! SHAME on you!!

    This type of action is why I changed my party affiliation to Democrat after 30+ years of being a Republican. Your party, as well as you yourself have lost complete touch with the average North Carolinian.

    Shame on all of you!!!
