Cut Spending on Social Programs Cut Taxes
Today the Senate passed a budget bill that cuts spending on things that middle class people need. They have also cut taxes for rich people. This is just sad.

1. No that is the NeoConvists agenda. Cut all Social spending
and give the money to the Rich Insiders. They are just doing what they have always wanted to do. Just one More step down to the pit of FASCIST HELL

2. The middle class threatens the hegemony of the elite...
by eliminating the middle class, they eliminate the threat.
PNAC playbook.

3. Most people are unaware of these cuts
Until it affects them, most people have no idea of these cuts.

My mother-in-law fell and broke her ankle the other day. She is 85. Had surgery yesterday and will be going into a rehab center later this week. Medicare would usually picks up the first 100 days. They now only pick up the first 21 days. With these cuts, they'll probably eliminate the coverage for rehab all together. This is more than sad, its a crime!!
