It should seem incredible that, with all the big tax cuts the wealthy and corporations have been given, and the expensive multiple wars we have to pay for, the country must drastically trim our Social Security and medical supports and further limit the modest pay and pensions of public workers… We don’t have to let public education, health and retirement funding recede back to pre-Great Depression levels. Many conservatives, though, wish to seize the chance to undo the advances made since the New Deal and other reforms increased the living standards of the great majority.
