re: #339 Aceofwhat?

Thanks.

This is what i mean: either the cut in question will screw the poor, or it won’t. Doesn’t the answer to that question, then, tell us whether the person(s) proposing the cut is going to ‘screw the poor’?

That’s all. I think that a budget line item is best judged by its effect, not its sponsor. As you say, we need objective measurement - then we can judge.

Quite Concur.
