McCrory Hits Perdue on Free Tuition
Perdue has pledged to offer two years of free tuition to build a more-educated work force as many old-economy, factory-style jobs are being lost to foreign operations, she said.
The mayor said he would support offering targeted scholarships to help fill labor gaps in areas where the state is lacking, such as in mental health. But he doesn’t support a broader plan because it would end up costing taxpayers too much, he said.
“It’s not free; someone’s going to get the bill,” he told the group of employees.
There is no such thing as a free ride. Someone is paying for it. Perdue is your typical sleaze politicians telling people that if they to go the polls and vote for her she’ll give them someone else’s money. There was a day when politicians like this used to be tarred, feathered and run out of town by an angry mob with torches and pitch forks. Then we became “civilized.”
This plan would be extremely expensive for North Carolina and every resident and worker in the state will get stuck with the bill.
