Because we've pissed away so much money in Iraq and cut taxes for the wealthy, Bush's proposed budget will significantly chop grants to local law enforcement agencies and firefighters (you know, the people who protect us here at home). Plus, Bush wants to continue to screw our environment, Native Americans, the poor, park services, the Smithsonian and the national endowment for the arts and humanities. The Pentagon, of course, will get a boost (a 4.8% increase) as will the Coast Guard (good thinking) and community health centers (because he's obviously a "compasionate conservative").
"I stand with the president that we need to eliminate wasteful spending and we need to look through all the programs," said House Budget Committee Chairman Jim Nussle, R-Iowa.No further comment needed...
