Bush's budget proposal could mean deep cuts to environmental protection, veterans benefits and other programs, critics say. See Full List of Cuts

In all, the targeted programs include 99 that the White House wants to eliminate, for a total of $8.8 billion in savings. The president wants to save an additional $6.5 billion by cutting spending on 55 programs.

More than half of the identified programs had been flagged for cuts or elimination in previous years.

8. the list was badly posted-
Edited on Sat Feb-12-05 12:38 PM by LiberallyInclined
each cabinet department should be in bold type-
underneath each cabinet department are the items under it's perview that are facing the axe; the departments themselves are safe.

12. Why Are We Paying Taxes!?
No taxation without representation. Or has that become an equal to "the cow jumped over the moon"?

10. Nominated for greatest page
Because if you aren't affected by these cuts, then you WILL know someone who is. Those will translate into dissatisfied voters and help move forward an impeachment of this digusting, vile regime.
This information has to get out to the sheeple. "Adam and Steve" may not be as important as they first believed.
Muy importante.
Thanks for the compilation. Nice work.
