I hardly know where to start in denouncing this misguided bill. but several themes are apparent. It makes vast. untested changes in the way our country does business. It abandons federal commitments to the most vulnerable among uschildren. families. the elderly. immigrants. the working poor. the sickand makes many of them the subjects of Staterun experiments in providing health care. education. jobs. and other services. It needlessly cuts taxes on corporations and wealthy investors while it raises taxes on more than half the populationthe half with incomes under $30.000 a year. It dumps huge new responsibilities on the States but gives them little time to plan. establish new programs and bureaucracies. or hire and train State employees.
