A Victory for Decency
The Republicans latest attempt to cut funds for the poor so they can slash taxes for the rich has failed:
House Republican leaders were dealt a rare defeat today as Democrats and about two dozen Republicans teamed up to kill a $142 billion health and education spending bill.
I hope that this “effective control” of Congress by Democrats and moderate Republicans can continue. The poor in our nation and in the world can’t afford too many more tax cuts for the rich!
