In reply to the discussion: The outright hate for the President on DU is disgusting [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)5. I stand with the Unions, and support their opposition to the proposed cuts.
Richard Trumka:
"A presidents budget is more than just numbers. It is a profoundly moral document. We believe cutting Social Security benefits and shifting costs to Medicare beneficiarieswhile exempting corporate America from shared sacrificeis wrong and indefensible. Last November, working Americans voted for jobs and growth, not for budget austerity and benefit cuts. We urge the President to drop these cuts and build support for investing in jobs."
