President Obama, in his State of the Union address, said this about Americans several times: “We do big things.” I agree.
In that same address, he said, “I’ve proposed cuts to things I care deeply about, like community-action programs.” Later, in unveiling his budget, the president justified his proposal to cut Community Action by 50 percent by saying that the anti-poverty agencies have remained “virtually unchanged” since their creation in 1964.
