The Bush Budget Proposal



According to Sojourners the Bush Budget Proposal has some serious question marks:

Making permanent the tax cuts of 2001 - 70% of which benefited the wealthiest 20% of U.S. citizens

The elimination of block grants that aid poor communities

Making it more difficult for working poor families with children to be on Medicaid

A $355 million cut to programs that promote safe and drug-free schools

Cuts to housing and urban development programs

The elimination of 48 educational programs

I knew I could count on you! I'm looking forward to your blog's posting.

In the meantime, I think I will post some more on this...
