I can’t believe what I have heard.

Government officials say they must make cuts to school funding, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid because there isn’t enough money. But government agencies and Congress put in $20 million worth of overtime. The budget cuts should start with them.

The nation is going broke while they keep filling their pockets.

The lower class has given more than its share. Look around. There are families living on the street because homeowners’ taxes are going up and families are losing their homes.

Stop taking from the lower class and start taking more from the higher class, where the problem really is.
