We lace serious choices over what should be our priorities when we set out to bring our budget into balance. Are we going to take a path that looks after the most vulnerable in society. that keeps promises. that invests in our future. that calls for shared sacrifice. and does not provide favors to people who already amply enjoy the rewards of this great country? Or are we going to take a path that ignores the needs of senior citizens. children. and working families. that calls for sacrifice from the vulnerable while handing out tax cuts we cant alford to people who dont need thern. that cripples our ability to prepare for tomorrow. that threatens the environment through underhanded deals. that takes the tax dollars of immigrants we have welcomed but denies them the very benefits their tax dollars have gone to support. and walks away from promises made to the American people? This is a debate about numbers--cuts. slowed growth. caps. tax cuts. subsidies. and every other way we have to count moneybut more important than any numbers are the principles at stake. American values should be reflected in the budget.
