Urging our nation's leaders to end hunger
 

Poor People Did Not Cause the Budget Deficit

In this video, Bread for the World President David Beckmann talks about proposed budget cuts and their impact on vulnerable Americans with Spotlight's Jodie Levin-Epstein.

The amount of money we spend on poor people is not very much. They did not cause the budget deficit. We should reduce our budget deficit. But not by hurting hungry people. -David Beckmann
