Heather Rogers has written "The relentless push to bleed Legal Services dry." Congress created the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) in 1974 to provide civil legal representation to poor people. In 1981, Ronald Reagan set out to kill LSC. He didn't succeed -- entirely. But he achieved a 25% budget cut, taking the annual appropriation to $321 million, and things have gone downhill since then. The current fiscal year appropriation is just $348 million. (1981 funding in real, inflation-adjusted terms would require $812 million.) That's right -- $348 million to provide civil legal services to all 46 million Americans living in poverty. Rogers explains that political support for LSC is so weak that most of LSC's friends in Congress are just looking for small increases (and spend most of their effort fighting cuts). Worth reading.

Poors are the most vulnerable part of the population since they depend a great deal on governmental and also non-governmental aids. In time of crisis, governments cut wherever possible.
