Officials need to act before cuts

It is so obvious that the Republicans are so enthralled with the pockets of their RICH friends that they are not concerned with destroying this economy. Twenty percent is the wage cut YPG and civilian personnel at MCAS will have enforced on them if the Republicans and Mr. Obama do not come to a compromise.

The impact on this city is going to be overwhelming. How much spending do you think people are going to do missing 20 percent from their wage? Not much. We voted these people in. We the people of this great country need to inform these people get off the pot or do something. Maybe if we start informing by email or mail how we feel and that they are hanging by a fine thread. Maybe they will do something. How in good conscience can they sleep at night knowing their rich friends still have their pockets lined while the middle class will crumble under the weight of greed? We are being set up for failure.
