Balancing a Budget on the Backs of the Poor

Posted on Thursday 2 February 2006

It’s been said plenty before, but when Congress passes a budget like this one under the guise of fiscal reckoning it’s worth repeating:

The brave, brave men and women of the Republican party have decided that federal spending must be cut, and they have courageously decided that those who have it too easy in this country, those who need to make the sacrifices for the greater good are the poor, the elderly, single mothers, and students

That’s Kash at Angry Bear, who also points out that the spending cuts don’t even balance the budget because Congress continues to push through tax cuts.
