Dear Editor,
I read the articles in The Star Ledger concerning families whose fuel subsidies have been cut or who are living on food stamps and I empathize with their plight. Many of us are going through rough times right now and I personally do not mind helping out the neediest that are not capable of helping themselves. What bothers me about the reporting is that it gives the sense that cutting Government spending is a bad thing. Every article covering the plight of the poor should be followed by an article highlighting wasteful Government spending or public employees enjoying six figure pensions at taxpayers’ expense. Our Government has a spending problem. Let’s not distort this fact.
 Sincerely,
Gregory Borsinger
