Cutting All the Wrong Things

I am writing to you about the American economy which right now is being discussed by both the Democrats and Republicans. My feeling is that they are cutting all of the wrong things so that the one percent, that is the ultra-rich, can continue to benefit from the tax cuts that George W. Bush gave them.

We the 99 percent have already lost too much. Our college students are paying more and more each year, and our public school classes are way too crowded. When will our government of the U.S.A. get it right?

Next on the cutting block is Social Security and Medicare, and as Bernie Sanders has said many times, those two programs have not contributed one penny to our deficit. The No. 1 contributor to the deficit is the unnecessary warfare we are engaged in; stop the wars now and bring our troops home. The No.2 contributor, not far behind, is the tax breaks given to the ultra-rich and corporations.
