Well well well… what a difference 48 hours makes.
Tuesday, McAuliffe was singing this song:
Meeting with education students at Old Dominion University, McAuliffe said Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s proposed $1.4 billion income-tax cut would necessitate an annual reduction of at least $525 million in state education funding, leading to layoffs of more than 8,000 teachers.
For Norfolk schools, McAuliffe said, that translates into a budget cut of more than $16 million and more than 250 teacher layoffs.
So after Bearing Drift publicly blasted Terry McAuliffe for basically lying about Cuccinelli’s education plan and it’s impact — especially after looking at economic growth and increased state revenues — the McAuliffe team decided to change tack just a bit in their latest Facebook campaign.
What was a $525 million cut two days ago? Is now only a $422 million “cut” — even though, again, they have absolutely zero numbers to support that figure.
At the rate of $103 million every two days in corrections and errors from Team T-Mac and with only 61 days to the election, will McAuliffe’s math shady math show that Cuccinelli’s tax cut would result in, oh… about a $2.668 billion surplus?
What a lame excuse for policy. Cuccinelli gets +1 on education reform this week.
McAuliffe?
Not a good week for the Dems.
