The danger the United States
faces today is that the government debt crisis scheduled to hit Congress next spring (when Republicans are threatening to vote against raising the federal debt limit as the government
deficit soars) will provide an opportunity for the wealthy to give a coup de grace on what is left of progressive taxation in this country.
The Lakewood school district, which annually
faces budget
deficits in part because of its
soaring special education costs, makes up the bulk of that funding.
