Budget Cuts
Should we balance the budget by slashing Medicare and programs benefiting the working poor, children and safeguarding the environment? Must we decimate programs for school lunches and training programs?
Big corporations are not being asked to give up their “corporate welfare,” i.e., grazing, mining and timber companies and developers to mention just a few.
Our system of democracy is being trampled by the super-rich enjoying every luxury of special treatment. Greed and self-interest by the wealthy are using our tax dollars to further their own gain. I do not favor “Aid to Dependent Corporations.”
