Corbett has decided to cut the $205 monthly cash grant to 70,000 Pennsylvanians. According to the Morning Call article by Marion Callahan, the money goes “...to disabled, unemployed Pennsylvanians without children, those fleeing domestic violence, adults caring for the sick or disabled, adults in drug or alcohol treatment programs and children living with an unrelated adult.”
I’ll bet out of that whole 70,000 people, no more that two or three contributed to Corbett’s campaign. What good are people like that to him? They aren’t “job creators.” You can’t give them tax cuts. They aren’t Texas companies fracking for natural gas. Probably most of them don’t even vote.
Right now this is a proposal. We have to depend on legislators like Senator Argall and Representative Heffley to say no to this.
