they must have been feeling the heat politically about it. That is a fact--not spin. They are ginning up the heat--that is the real fact. This is like changing the name "estate tax" to "death tax." This is all part of the class war that the wealthy anti-government, low tax Republicans have been waging for years, and have been winning since 1981.

Well NC University System Reagents are still going to note the increase of tuition for the middle class students on the bill and identify it as subsidy so they must have been feeling the heat politically about it. Regents, in most states, are appointed by the governor. What this means, concretely, in NC, is that the right wing has enough political clout to make this happen. It's very bad public policy, very bad education policy, and so on. And a complete politically inspired fiction. But I'm repeating myself. Far too many times.
