Outrageous is the correct word to use. It is SHAMEFUL that people are having to live like this in this country. I thought we were the country that took care of everyone. I believe we have gotten off the right path somewhere.

  No, we have let the Rabid Right define liberal as a swear word, and siphon off most of the wealth of the middle class to a tiny handful of elites. Will we keep on voting for this to happen? John McCain wants to give another 10% tax cut to only the wealthiest Americans. He wants $1 trillion per year in new tax cuts with no REAL way to pay for them, so the debt of that party for the rich will go onto the $10 trillion dollar deficit Bush will leave behind.
  All that debt will fall to the people in the tents, because the uber wealthy multinationals will just move on to other areas where there is still a bit of wealth for them to grab.
  The Truth is that Reagan and the RepugniCons who followed in his footsteps have increased the size of government and the taxes more than any politician before in history. They just hid it from today's taxpayers by putting it all into debt, to be paid by those now in the tents and their children and grandchildren.
