Bush's $3 Trillion Budget Cuts Americans

[Monkeyman]

The Big winner here is the Pentagon and the people of Iraq.
While Americans are left behind.
Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans, Poor and Health Programs will be cut or underfunded.
Also schools, grants and your local government will face budget shortages.
Now we all know jobs are getting harder to find. Most jobs out there pay on the average of $7.50 an hour with no health coverage.
Now our President will cut our farmers by $18 Billion over the next five years.
So that means higher food cost.
But the real kick in the head for us Americans. The Money he is funding Iraq does not fund the Troops. It goes to the same programs he is cutting from you and me the American People.
Bush is telling us Americans we do not count. But his so-called plan for Iraq does.
States will now face chronic shortfalls. Returning troops and veterans will face again a Budget at the VA (Veterans Affairs) with shortfalls putting our life's at risk.
Our Education again in this Country will fall to lower levels.
Be under no illusion DU America will suffer from this anti-American Budget.

3. This proposed budget-cutting would have been a climax of the wet dream

of Grove Norquist had the democrats not won both houses of Congress. It's been his wish to burden the budget and raise the federal deficit to such heights that entitlements and social program would be slashed to be point of uselessness, if not inevitable elimination from future budgets.

7. House approves $463.5B spending bill

WASHINGTON - The House passed a $463.5 billion spending bill Wednesday that covers about one-sixth of the federal budget as Democrats cleared away the financial mess they inherited from Republicans.Before the 286-140 vote, Republicans made modest objections to Democrats' spending decisions but protested greatly over how the new majority muscled the measure through the House.

Democrats said the legislation would increase spending on education, veterans, health research and grants to state and local law enforcement agencies. Among the trade-offs were cuts to President Bush's budget requests for NASA, foreign aid and aid for communities affected by the latest round of military base closings
