Private philanthropy when partnering with a Government Agency you can do things that you can do by yourselves. Theres something about concrete in the way we fight property in new york. Rockford runs a 90 sites around the city and runs a program called single stop. Single stop rings to bear a free lawyer, free financial counselor free social worker tax preparer and brings this team of people together and anybody who comes and we sit down and figure what the problem is and we help them. One of the things we do is to complete the tax forms of 60,000 a rather large number, 60,000 low income lowpaid new yorkers and on their behalf we cover about 120 million in tax refunds almost entirely from the federal government. My point about raising this is follows. When you put 5000 in tax refunds on the table at the lowpaid new york family, you have added Something Like somewhere between 1 2 to one third of their incomes in the private sector and added to that. That is the amount of money they need
Cost our country 600,000 jobs . Yes. Moving discretionary funding backed up to the original cast and not having the sequester take effect. And that would take a half a point away from gross to mustek product . By the end of 2014. Florida, thein types of jobs we are talking about, we have seen some very harmful impact. Our premier Cancer Research center in tampa, before the sequester, they had 120 researchers working to find a cure for cancer. They are down to 100. The air force base is one of our Largest Community economic drivers. They are furloughing Mental Health counselors among others. That part of the budget is shrinking, but the sequester does not give us a lot of room to maneuver on where we want those cuts to take place. Law enforcement, job losses from cuts to the court, very significant cut accident education. Adopted republicans this cr last week, it became Crystal Clear that they intend to march forward with those sequester cuts. Report and at your those kind of expenditur
