On the recordNovember 10, 2005
the cuts to education, health care, housing and nutrition programs that we will consider later today once again expose the real agenda of the majority. This reconciliation package presents a simple choice, either care for the poor, the sick and the hungry, and help students attend college, or cut taxes for the wealthy and give yet another handout to the oil industry. The choice seems almost too easy, but yet again, our friends on the other side of the aisle will sacrifice the moral principle of caring for your neighbor in favor of funneling billions in tax breaks and government handouts to the most well off. These are the priorities of the majority. Increase our debt, punish the least among us, and line the pockets of the wealthy. I urge my colleagues to oppose this misguided and immoral reconciliation package. ____________________
