President Bush, in his budget proposal for fiscal year 2009, this week proposed making permanent several tax breaks for charitable contributions.
At the same time, he proposed cutting spending on numerous social-services, arts, and health programs (including Medicaid and Medicare) as a way to help balance the budget by 2012.
What do you think about the president’s plan? If enacted, how would it affect your organization or the people it helps? Would you propose an alternative way to rein in the federal budget’s large deficits?
