More carping about the President's budget. Cuts for important programs while the deficit gap grows. What a contrary Contard.
Louisiana’s Medicaid-funded nursing homes would lose an estimated $70.2 million under President Bush’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2007, according to a report released by a national association of long-term care groups.
A coalition of nearly 80 Maine organizations on Monday called upon the state's congressional delegation to reject the Bush administration's proposed cuts in domestic spending, saying they would decimate a host of education, housing, work-force training and heating assistance programs.
With Congress heading into a politically perilous budget season, influential House conservatives plan this week to propose an austere alternative spending plan that would pare more than $650 billion over five years, balance the budget and drastically shrink three cabinet agencies," The New York Times reports. "Senior aides say the conservatives' plan would wring about $350 billion from Medicare, Medicaid and other social programs and save $300 billion partly through a major reorganization of the Education, Commerce and Energy Departments."
In his 2005-2006 federal budget, President Bush cut education programs by $2 billion. And in his latest budget, which is for the fiscal year that starts on October 1, 2006, George Bush plans to cut education programs by a whopping $4.3 billion, and to entirely eliminate 42 more programs.
