Punishing the Poor:"
The Republican Congress has a plan for rebuilding the southeast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina: Sacrifice the poor and middle class.
The GOP wants to cut $50 billion from education loans, cancel the Medicare expansion, cut food stamps, and derail public transportation. At the same time, the richest Americans get richer, thanks to continued tax cuts.
Personally, I was against the Medicare bill in the first place and don't mind if it's cancelled or postponed. A big increase in money available for prescription drugs
without a requirement of the pharmaceutical companies to rein in prices will just cause those companies to raise prices even more and won't help consumers.
