Poor children won’t be fed, teachers will be fired, families will be homeless, seniors will starve or freeze to death in unheated homes, single mothers will lose child care and job training, water and air will be dirtier, farmers will be forced from their land, and playgrounds, parks, health clinics and recreations centers will close. Bottom line: Nothing can be cut.
