That is called priorities! As an aside, it never ceases to amaze me how excited some ordinary people get over tax cuts they will likely not benefit from much or at all but don't seem to notice the cuts to programs they rely on. My father is on Medicare and yet he thinks he will be living it up after the Republican tax cuts which is absurd since he is not even close to being rich enough to really benefit from them. I have to show him this article. Thanks.
