Letters to the Editor: The painful costs of the debt ceiling standoff (via latimesopinion )
. I am deeply concerned that both House leadership and Republican senators are exploiting our nation’s well-being to engage in partisan politics, seeking substantial reductions in essential programs such as education, food assistance, housing and other vital initiatives that provide millions of people with access to necessities.
The current inflationary trends are exacerbating the financial strain on Americans, while wages remain unresponsive to the escalating costs. Countless individuals are already enduring significant hardships, and it is disheartening to witness further attempts to inflict harm through this process. I harbor profound fears about the potential
burden on our already overwhelmed social systems, including food banks, emergency rooms and charities that support families and children.If Republicans force a debt ceiling standoff based on requiring deficit reduction by social safety net spending cuts, perhaps Democrats should consider a demand for the suspension of the billionaire tax-relief signed by Trump. It doesn’t seem like an equal trade though: penalizing many millions of those in genuine need to make the 0.
