Travis County could lose $762 million for needy under current state budgets House budget would cut $16 billion to counties across the state

Scoop, I understand.

Here in Hawaii they are cutting funding for low income (the poor) health care and insurance. So they will end up in the emergency room anyway.

Meanwhile all of the public employee unions have refuse to negotiate any changes or reductions in their contracts. This while all the rest of us take it in the shorts! I will not add the adjectives I would like to. All of this began with the economic crisis but somehow public employees view themselves above the rest of us.

Let it never be said that Texas puts its people first. To cut these programs, to cut education is so unjust. What so they expect these folks to do, just quietly go away?

It is a sad state of affairs, it is always the poor, down trodden and weak that do not have a voice. In Texas most do not even recognise their existence. Look at what happened in Egypt, do they not think that the same will come about here?
