We have a huge fight on our hands. Washington, D.C. is going to start talking about extending the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2% and turning the focus back to the deficit again. In addition, there’s a very real danger that cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs Americans rely on will be on the table.
So it’s up to us to fight like hell for the working people in our communities. We need to work to make sure the rich pay their fair share, that there are no cuts to our benefits and programs that safeguard our country’s future — like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security — are safe for generations to come.
