How PROJECT 2025 could impact North Carolina reported on from The News & Observer with this their headline (formatted to fit the blog):

“4 ways the GOP’s Project 2025 could dramatically affect North Carolina | Opinion”

I. EDUCATION: The plan calls for the abolition of the U.S. Department of Education, which would strip public schools of key funding sources. In particular, Project 2025 would lead to the eventual elimination of Title I, a federal program that provides funding to schools with large populations of low-income students.

Half of North Carolina’s roughly 2,500 public schools receive funding through Title I, which allows them to offer additional programming and hire more staff to support students who need it most.

II. FEDERAL JOBS:  Project 2025 proposes dismantling a number of Federal agencies, as well as reclassifying thousands of federal workers as political appointees, so they can be fired and replaced. According to the CRS (Congressional Research Service), more than 47,000 civilians in North Carolina are employed by the federal government — far more than in most states that would be impacted.

MY NOTE INSERTED: Federal & State government Civil service employees (GS employees) ARE NOT politically appointed – politics is a “no-no” for them. I know because I was one for 24 years after my 20 years active duty in Marine Corps with serviced in both the Department of Army and Air Force (education and intelligence positions).

III. HEALTH CARE:  Project 2025 proposes changes to Medicaid that could jeopardize health care coverage for millions of Americans. They include the imposition of “targeted time limits or lifetime caps on Medicaid benefits, which places limits on how long people can be covered by Medicaid during their lifetime.” According to the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank, there are more than 900,000 North Carolinians enrolled in Medicaid who could lose coverage if these limits are imposed.

The plan also calls for repealing the drug price reforms in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which could again increase prescription drug prices for seniors on Medicare. The Center for American Progress estimates that nearly 700,000 North Carolinians could see increased costs if the reforms are repealed.

IV. ABORTION: The plan calls for the HHS department to be renamed and called the “Department of Life” by “explicitly rejecting the notion that abortion is health care.”

Suggestions include: (1) rescinding the FDA’s approval of abortion medication; (2) limiting access to emergency contraception, including morning-after pills and IUDs; and (3) conducting “abortion surveillance” by deputizing government agencies to collect data on miscarriages, stillbirths, and other pregnancy-related issues.

Project 2025 would also make it illegal to mail abortion medication under the Comstock Act, a 19^th Century (1873) law that bans the mailing of abortion drugs but has not been enforced in decades.

Anti-abortion advocates have touted the Comstock Act as a way to effectively ban abortion without having to pass a national ban on the procedure.

Not only would that impact pregnant people living in North Carolina — and potentially increase the state’s already-high maternal mortality rate — it would also affect people in the South who live in states with even stricter abortion bans and travel to receive care.

The plan is not an official campaign platform, though, nor is it binding in any way — so there’s no guarantee any of these policies will be implemented. But, it does offer a glimpse of what right-wing groups might want out of a second Trump presidency, and what Trump allies may advocate for if they are appointed to influential positions in his administration.

My 2 Cents: Very good article showing the impact on a key 2024 election start that very well will spill over to many other states. 

That is why now PROJECT 2025 is the #1 searched topic according to Google search – now we know why. It’s a crazy plan make no mistake about the aim and goals of this will conservative plan. 

FYI: You may want to check this excellent site (VERIFY) for a lot more info on PROJECT 2025 – hard factual proof or not of what’s in the document – an excellent research site with factual/verified links. 

BTW: NC is a key state in this election cycle as well as many others especially after they see the impact of this awful Project 2025 plan on them I believe. 

So, how to stop it: Get out and vote and then help get out others to vote to make our voices known to just say no. 

Thanks for stopping by
