But one way or another the impact may be felt by most Americans.
The White House warns that 10-thousand teacher jobs would be at risk and 70-thousand children could be removed from Head Start.

What scares the right-wingers in Washington is the fact that our own military may be cut down to size the way it should be!

We don't need any ships in the Indian Ocean as we have purportedly "reliable" allies to take up the slack, like India and Australia. Let them do it by all means!
They need to not cut the military. I wish we were bigger. I wish we could go more places and fix more problems. Nothing's more important than fighting evil.
