No jurisdiction appears to be cutting back on costs, but instead, are ramping up spending programs in the name of "creating jobs." I have not seen a single analysis showing the potential for permanent jobs creation with a wage sufficient to support a family and a resulting financial benefit. We talk about this problem in the Upstate and don't know how to fix it. We cannot get rid of the encamped, elected state delegation. We got rid of the criminal local elected officials, but the new ones don't have a clue about what is going on for the general taxpaying public and those out of a job, many of whom are on the street.

Look at it as a 7% pay raise for all of us! Support the State FairTax bill sponsored by Rep. Rex Rice and Rep. Joey Millwood (H.3992), Sen. Glenn McConnell (S-902) and Sen. Larry Grooms (S-942).

Everyone knows government can create jobs by simply printing paper money. I can get an economist to swear that the SC unemployment rate would be 25% if not for this hugely successful stimulus plan.
