Letters to the Editor: It's time for Congress to make poor families a priority (via latimesopinion )
Time to renew it: Reps. Suzan DelBene , Rosa DeLauro and Ritchie Torres are introducing the American Families Act that will do just that. We can ask our representatives to join them in pushing this path to equity, then move on to other initiatives that lift families out of the dire straits of poverty, such as a renter tax credit that will keep people housed. This isn’t rocket science, just common sense and compassion to end these unnecessary burdens on America’s most vulnerable.
A way out of this dilemma is to cut the defense budget. The best item in the defense budget to cut is spending on nuclear weapons. They cannot be used, for their use will result in the elimination of all of humanity . Enough money could be saved to pay for the retirement of all workers involved in their development and storage. Perhaps these workers can be re-employed to fight climate change or serve humanity in some other way.
