Keeping people employed must be nation's top priority
The June 7 front-page story, "Congress responds to deficit concerns," is deeply disappointing. As a report of Congress' worries about the federal deficit, it repeats the deficit-hawk position with no acknowledgment of other views. Granted, the national debt is a serious matter. But if we are serious about reducing it, we must put people back to work, not add to the millions of unemployed. Besides, the proposed budget cuts will not reduce the deficit, because continued weakness in job recovery and high unemployment will result in lower tax revenues and possibly even higher deficits.
