Cuts not the way forward for NM

-

WHILE U.S. CENSUS reports the U.S. is progressin­g with lowered uninsured rates, lower poverty and increasing incomes of 5.5 percent, poor New Mexico is planning on 5 percent cuts and stiffing educating the public and other social services for corporate and high income-earners’ tax breaks.

Oh, to offset the debt, let’s kill a few people. So, this is what we are about? So this is our will?

New Mexico is a failed state, send in the troops. By the way, oil prices are rising, but that’s not the issue. The issue is austerity, austerity, austerity. The debt, you know, must not be allowed to hurt our future, never mind the now.

Better yet, vote Republican­s out — of office, if not the state.
