Some of the first to feel the effects of the squabble over the fiscal cliff are military families. Cuts to families that are already financially scraping by are not the answer. Our government should be looking in on itself and other areas for financial cuts. While, “The average citizens' annual income is $49,445. In 2010, the average net worth of a U.S. senator was $13.2 million, and the average worth of a House member was $5.9 million” (Stanley, 2012). We as average citizens need to help support one another because it is obvious the government does not put the concerns of the average citizen before its own interests.
