Alex Castellanos made such a remark in a debate with Donna Brizile on CNN this evening. To underscore his point that there is plenty that the government can cut without resorting to additional calls for more revenue, he suggested attacking the National Park Service. I have heard that before as it seems to be a GOP standard attack line.
When considering government shutdowns and prioritizing services factor this. Typically, essential services include police, fire fighting, postal service, armed forces, utilities, air traffic management, and corrections.
Government is telling us today that we don’t need so much Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Stop being so sick and needy.
Sequestration will impact police, fire fighting, postal service, armed forces, air traffic controllers, and the penal system therefore, the situation must be dire.
As for the park service, if you don’t have people patrolling the land, lawbreakers take over. Trees fall and nature takes over, growing up and around things that are usually mowed and trimmed. Trash cans don’t get emptied, but if no one comes to the park, there is no trash.
Republicans seem to delight in ridiculing poor and needy people, as well as seniors who are simply living out their lives as planned and promised.
That circumstance, the ridiculing as if it is a joke makes listening to the right wing even more difficult. The best thing that can happen in 2014 is for voters to elect people that represent their interests and not the wealthy.
Isn’t this funny?
