I await those who disagree with me. :-)
The $85 billion
sequestration budget crisis leads us to an unfortunate turn in the ability to
assist the “poorest and most vulnerable Americans…” Expected to take a major hit are programs for
children’s health, food stamps, the homeless, and housing assistance, just to
name a few. In fact, many recipients of
a D.C. housing authority program will likely end up on the streets, having been
evicted from a housing voucher program, and employees of that program will be
heavily furloughed. Housing programs in
Washington State have already started executing cuts.
The overall idea of this article is sickening. Basically, a bunch of vulnerable families,
the disabled, the elderly, women, and children are going to have a bad time in
the very near future. The overall
article, to me, showcases how, even during a widespread budget cut crisis, the
least fortunate souls in our country will be the ones who ultimately will
suffer. While the 1% elitists complain
about the consequences of the sequestration on their person, or having to pay
their fair share of taxes, the final result for the less fortunate is where do I sleep? and not which wine should I have with the cullotte?.
