In these times in this land

I'm glad it is Easter, a time of hope, and how we need that. Here is a clear summary of these days in the land, an excerpt from Bob Herbert's article, "The Era Of Exploitation" in the Mar. 25 NY Times:

"President Bush believes in an 'ownership' society, which means that except for the wealthy, you're on your own. The president's budget would cut funding for Medicaid, food stamps, education, transportation, health care for veterans, law enforcement, medical research and safety inspections for food and drugs. And, of course, it contains big new tax cuts for the
wealthy."
