So very sad. We are all in the same boat.

... None of this is happening out of financial necessity. All of these
cuts to services for the homeless could have been stopped if Cameron had
moved one figure on a spreadsheet: if he had taken the £1bn in
taxpayers' money paid in bonuses to Royal bank of Scotland bankers, and
ringfenced it for the homeless instead.


The same process is being imposed by conservatives in the US. One of
the Republican priorities since they assumed power has been to cut funding to keep low birth weight babies healthy and alive.

to cut funding to keep low birth weight babies healthy and alive: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/26/opinion/26blow.html?_r=1

It is savagely immoral and profoundly inconsistent to insist that women
endure unwanted — and in some cases dangerous — pregnancies for the sake
of “unborn children,” then eliminate financing designed to prevent
those children from being delivered prematurely, rendering them the most
fragile and vulnerable of newborns. How is this humane?
AND

... premature births cost the country at least $26 billion a year. At that
rate, reducing the number of premature births by just 10 percent would
save thousands of babies and $2.6 billion...

... Think about that the next time you hear Republican representatives tout
their “pro-life” bona fides. Think about that the next time someone uses
the heinous term “baby killer.”

This is plain and simple genocide.
