Petri on Budget Reconcilliation

“This is actually one very small step in the budget process,” Petri said. “The bill has a lot of pluses and minuses and if it doesn’t pass then of course the bad things won’t happen, but the good things won’t either.”

The bad things about this bill:
Cuts in Medicare (for the poor)
Cuts in College Student Aid (for the poor)
Cuts in Child Support Collection (for the poot)
Cuts in Food Stamps (for the poor)

The 'good' things about this bill:
Cuts in Taxes (for the wealthy)

This bill cuts over $50 billion in social programs for the needy, and also cuts taxes $70 billion. Over halfof those cuts go to people with incomes over $1 million.

Wanna guess where Petri's income is?
