This Republican budget resolution will cut over 1.2 million lowincome women. children. and infants from the WIC Program. How can that make this a better country? And when it comes to some basic things. we all abhor drugs in America and drug crimes. and yet with this budget we will be forced to cut the number of Border Patrol agents who are trying to ferret out those smuggling narcotics into America. So 1.350 fewer Border Patrol agents. 780 fewer drug enforcement agency personnel out there fighting the war on drugsthink about that for a second. Does that make any sense? More drugs in America. so we would have more people ultimately committing crimes and going to prison because we give a tax cut to the wealthiest people in this country.
