6. There is a budget crisis...
...in millions of households across the country. For those who are experiencing one because prices keep going up and pay stays the same or goes down, that's a lot more relevant than the country's "budget deficit".

Still, they want more austerity for the American people, and prosperity for those who are already ultra-wealthy. It makes me ill that people buy in to the idea that cutting anything and everything that helps Americans will have a positive effect on the economy. What will happen is the exact opposite, and if they get away with it, there will be more cuts to come.

"There is NO lack of money. It's all going to wrong people for the wrong things. And buying into this as a "budget crisis" that the poor have to pay for is rightwing/corporate ideology. "

I couldn't have said it better myself.
