The Reform movement slammed Congress for approving a budget that cuts social services while cutting taxes. The proposed budget “calls for up to $10 billion in cuts to Medicaid and other vital social service programs, such as Supplemental Security Income and the Earned Income Tax Credit, while at the same time expediting $70 billion in tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans,” Mark Pelavin, associate director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said last Friday, a day after both houses of Congress approved the 2006 budget and sent it to President Bush for his signature.
