When I first heard about the DEGOP Senate’s poverty plan, I had to let it sink in a bit. I figured it was a plan for further increasing poverty, like all of their plans – only just a little more honest this time. Turns out….I was right. More of the same, tax cuts, private school vouchers for Tower Hill parents, etc. I’ll let John Daniello take it from here.
“While I’m glad that Senate Republicans have decided Delaware’s economic growth ought to include the very people their policies have left behind for generations, the sad fact is that their plan offers little in the way of solutions that would do anything to help the working poor,” he said.
“While Democrats have been proud to support efforts to reduce the tax burden on those living near or beneath the poverty line, the Republican plan of replacing proven safety net programs with a litany of tax credits for wealthy benefactors and corporations simply doesn’t add up.”
I guess Dave Burris is in there trying to shake things up a little with something that sounds like actual governing, but is really just warmed over trickle down.
