Congressman Tim Moore Calls for Bipartisan Fiscal Commission to Address National Debt Impact on North Carolina Families

Congressman Tim Moore Calls for Bipartisan Fiscal Commission to Address National Debt Impact on North Carolina Families

Congressman Tim Moore (NC-14) has voiced significant concerns regarding the national debt's impact on families in North Carolina. During a House Budget Committee field hearing in Dallas, Texas, titled "America's Fiscal Future: Examining the Need for a Fiscal Commission," Moore advocated for the establishment of a bipartisan fiscal commission. He highlighted that the U.S. government is currently spending over $1 trillion annually on interest payments for the national debt, a figure that surpasses the funding allocated to the military. Moore emphasized that this financial burden directly affects average American families, estimating that they pay approximately $500 more per month in interest on home payments due to the national debt and inflation. The hearing featured testimonies from former officials, including former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, and former Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, underscoring the broad recognition of the issue.

J. Cole's Dreamville Ventures Launches Art Program for Student Healing and Creative Development

J. Cole's Dreamville Ventures Launches Art Program for Student Healing and Creative Development

J. Cole's Dreamville Ventures team recently initiated an art program for high school students in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This three-day art session, held during the U.S. leg of J. Cole's 'The Fall Off' tour, aimed to help students process their experiences through creative expression. The program began at the Cumberland County detention center with 11 students and later expanded to include 30 students from 10 Sandhills schools at Fayetteville State University. Cumberland County Judge Toni King collaborated with J. Cole's creative director to develop the initiative, focusing on the mental health aspect of art. Students were taught about art, dimensions, and how to adapt their work for social media and album covers, using their personal experiences as inspiration. Mental health providers were also present to support the students.
