Sequester will hurt Latinos!!

The Republicans are having a hard time getting their act together these days.  After a nasty election campaign, they are trying to contnue their strategy of obstructionism.  David Brooks a Right wing commentator really blew it yesterday when he stated that President Obama had no plan.  Latinos this is why you have to do your own homework.  President Obama has a plan and it is located at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/deficit_reduction_table_bucketed_r8.pdf.  It is important to understand what is going on here.  yes, we have a deficit but we also need to keep the recovery going.  This calls for a balanced approach to address our nation’s problems.  Can’t just cut our way back to economic prosperity.  Take a look at this Think Progress Report and associated graphics.  They tell the story of priorities - the people or corporate elite.  The Think Progress Report calls out that “For example, we could avoid painful cuts to investments in jobs and education just by ending a giveaway to corporate jet owners.”  For information about the sequester and its impact (it will impact you not just the Defense Department), go to: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/02/19/setting-record-straight-about-sequester.  Latinos call your congressman, send emails to your congressman telling them you support the President.  Remember, Junto Podemos!!  TPL (www.theprogressivelatino.com) Please visit our blog and like us on Facebook.  Credits for pic to .kxan.com.
