"Safety net organizations -- mental health, food, domestic violence -- are going to have to stop seeing people," says Linda Davis, CEO of the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership. "That's going to put more people on the streets, more people without medication. I'm guessing there'll be more kids going to school hungry, more fighting at home because of tension, more people living in their cars. Older folks are having to choose between one meal for the day or getting their medications. People are going to die."

Supervisor Susan Adams oversees the county's First District. "If the governor eliminates the Healthy Families program, we'll have 3,000 children without healthcare," she says. "And people are going to start noticing a great diminishment of services -- longer response time for fire department, potholes, health and human services."

1. Well, that's the RepuKKKe vision of AmeriKKKa!

No services, no jobs, filthy rich people getting away with murder - what's not to like?

2. Because heaven forbid Arnold dare to raise taxes on the top 1%.

Guess the poor are just supposed to keep waiting for the goodies to trickle down from the Reagan and Bush tax cuts.

The GOP (aka 29% Party) pledge to Never Raise Taxes is far more important than helping the needy.

Just get Arnold out there talking Green and then people will forget these brutalities, if they have cars and can zoom around without seeing their most desperate fellow citizens.

:crazy:
