Stealing From the Poor: The GOP Class War

The Senate yesterday passed a "deficit reduction" plan that will cut $35 billion from student loans, prescription drug benefits, and food stamps. It would also allow drilling in ANWR--a patent giveaway to GOP cronies that, while it will enrich oil coffers, will do squat to help our oil problems. Meanwhile, the Senate also passed a $70 billion tax cut, the effect of which, even pinheads in the electorate may see, will be to increase deficits. So: your taxes fund the wealthy at the expense of the poor and your children who, 25 years hence, will inherit the bill for all of this.

This is an insane class war, and Dems better get off their asses and start publicizing it.
