Dear friends,
As Congress continues to debate how we fund government, reduce the deficit and protect our commitments to low-income citizens and the elderly, I believe we must first look at closing loopholes and deductions enjoyed by corporations and the wealthy before we slash or irrevocably alter the social safety net.
I agree with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle – we must reduce the deficit. We can’t keep putting wars, prescription plans and tax breaks for the wealthy on the credit card.
