</ul>
<div><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;font-size:12pt;">o<span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;"> </span>These cuts could pull nearly $40 million dollars from AmeriCorps alone in 2013</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;font-size:12pt;">The federal government cut $1 billion from job training for low-income young adults over the past decade.</span></li>
</ul>
<div><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;font-size:12pt;">o<span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;"> </span>Currently, underfunded training programs reach fewer than 5 percent of the 6.7 million who aren’t in school and can’t find a job.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:georgia, palatino;font-size:12pt;">o<span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;"> </span>Simply eliminating tax cuts for the top 1% would save $81 billion per year.</span></div>
