good ex of reframing for masses: NC Dem Senate leader blasts NC GOP

Job-killing budget. Job-killing budget.

I know it's simple, but they're on top of their talking points. This is in response to a brutal proposed state budget just put out today by our new GOP-controlled General Assembly, which hacks away at schools, the completely overwhelmed NC community colleges, and what will formerly be known as a top statewide system of higher education, the 17-campus University of North Carolina.

Democratic Leader Nesbitt responds to GOP budget

Martin Nesbitt, the top Democrat in the state Senate, said Tuesday the budget proposed by GOP legislators is "a grave threat to job creation in North Carolina."

"If passed, this budget would kill thousands of jobs and amount to the single largest cut to education in North Carolina history," said Nesbitt, who is from Asheville. “There isn’t a classroom in the state that would be left untouched by the GOP’s job-killing budget. From preschools to elementary schools to community colleges and universities, this proposal jeopardizes the very future of our state.

“We’ve already seen a path forward on the budget that cuts taxes for middle class families while drawing the line at the classroom door. The GOP should stop trying to please the tea party and start listening to North Carolinians, who want a reasonable budget that creates jobs and protects education for their kids.”
