Ms. Edelman, a speaker at our convention last fall, said, We dont have a money problem, we have a priorities and a values problem. Gray Panthers couldnt agree more. We can support children, families, college students and the elderly if we choose to. She also said, “The budget is not fair, Mr. Chair, if 69 percent of the cuts comes from programs for low-income children and families and we are giving extra tax cuts to the wealthiest among us and without requiring offsets in the budget—if we can afford to give new tax extenders to wealthy corporations and people, we can afford to expand Head Start for every child and to make sure that every child is housed and is fed. We should be fair.” YES!
