Letter: Local R’s war on poor ‘shameful’

Letter from Catherine Matheson of Coeur d'Alene to the Coeur d'Alene Press reads in part:

The job choices in this area are limited enough for those who are low income and without a public bus system they become even more limited. I am surprised that a conservative teacher would not understand basic economics. Go back to Brent Regan and the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee for new talking points. Not only do these not make sense, but they show a real disdain for the plight of those who are struggling to make ends meet in this difficult economy. Full letter here.

Thoughts?
