Your post made me think of something I was thinking earlier this evening while watching network tv news. They were reporting on how ill prepared rescue pros are to deal with major disasters due to budge cuts,and all I could think about is two things: first, this week's Parade magazine cover story (that they do every year) on what people earn, and how disgusting it is to me that sports pros and entertainers earn grotesque amounts of money, while people who provide extremely important services to all of us earn barely enough to live on today, with housing costs, etc. being outrageous. The second thing is what I mentioned in a previous post about taxes--they are trying to give rich people tax cuts, and at the same time cutting back the ability of our fire departments to protect us in case of an attack! There are many other similar examples of cutbacks jeaopardizing important services to society. What is wrong with this picture?
