Myths to the Budget Cutting Process

Friends,

Please follow the link to get information concerning the myths and truths of cutting the US budget.  It is from the not for profit organization called bread for the world at bread.org.

It is http://www.bread.org/what-we-do/resources/papers/background/background-paper-214.pdf.  You may have to cut and paste the address.

Here also is a link to the same organization's site that provides a chart that illustrates what the proposals have been that would effect hungry and poor people.  I am not aware of what the current compromise proposal will do, but that may be something this site or others will post very shortly.

The link is http://www.bread.org/hunger/budget/pdf/budget-cuts-comparison-charts-1.pdf.  Again you may have to cut and paste.

Please take these matters seriously.  Whether the top 1% of wealthy Americans are not taxed more is a small issue in regards to the needs of the poor and hungry.  It is the difference between having a 3rd or 4th residence, multiple cars, and pure opulence and death, disability, and disaster.

Take care.
