Bush's 2007 budget cuts breast cancer research funds

[Contrary1]

To lower taxes again, Golden Boy is cutting funds from several programs. Experts indicate that the average middle-income family will save a whopping $20.!!! People will die because of this BS.

"The Bush Administration's budget makes cuts to the federal government's national breast and cervical cancer program run by the Centers for Disease Control. Despite the known success of this program and its reputation for saving lives, the President has proposed a $1.4 million cut that will stop 4,000 women from benefiting from early detection.

These cuts will disproportionately affect woman of color. According to two studies published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, African-American woman with breast cancer are 20 percent more likely to have a fatal result and women of color (including Hispanic women) are half as likely to receive crucial follow-up treatment such as radiation and chemotherapy following surgery. This program is specifically designed to help a critical population of working women who are ineligible for Medicaid, and whose employees do not provide health care coverage. Many of these women lack the benefit of a family doctor who might help them get access to early screening. The program provides an essential service in the battle to fight cancer by offering free mammograms, Pap tests, and additional early detection services. Instead of providing additional funding to help fully service the affected population, President Bush has proposed deep budget cuts to this vital program."

4. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree -- daddy bush did the same

thing --

I remember daddy bush vetoed $2 million for breast cancer research -- women's breast cancer.

That was back when I was watching tv -- McNeil/Lehrer managed to dig up a MD who argued that cancer was cancer and money spent for male type research . . . blah blah blah

Women were NOT happy with this veto -- it was such a little bit of money in the grand scheme of things.

But then I've been saying bushie has been waging a war against women since his very first day in office -- he really hates women -- he probably hates his mother and thus ALL women. I'd had to be his daughters

5. Who would Jesus let die?

I tell you one thing, it damn sure wouldn't be the poor and people of color.

It's not just every day, it's several times a day, bush does something or says something to make me realize, you know what, he really is evil. Evil is as evil does.
