And we'd still be pretty hard on the unfortunate. This isn't good enough, believe me. But it would be better than the current set of laws. The Senator agrees with his colleague in the House that these votes are inconsistent, but he disagrees about what to do about it. He is sponsoring a counterproposal to Rep. Libstein's, in which the food and education budgets, as well as Supplemental Security Income assistance to the indigent, are cut in half, and the new daycare allocation is cancelled.
Any idiot can see which way the wind is blowing.
All I'm trying to do is get us all lined up in the right direction. On the other hand, Draconian does favor a significant restoration of the rural and community development funding. He applauds two planks of the current program which neither Draconian nor Libstein specifically address. Now we need to do the same thing to all the other programs. Setting a dollar value just isn't as important as making sure that people are rewarded for working and penalized for laziness.
