This program receives only $1 million of State funding. and cutting it would likely end up costing much more. We must resist the impulse to be penny wise and pound foolish. We must also be aware that. in our current climate. the cuts we make in Washington will be duplicated at the city and State level. We must equally resist the impulse shared by some in this House to punish those most in need of assistance--the poor. the elderly. the disabled. children. workers. legal immigrantsand to place the blame for our Nations deficit on those who truly need assistance.
