I Hate to Say It, But We Deserve Everything We Get (Or Don't Get)
President Bush's new $2.75 trillion budget is bad news for America, with many federal programs being slashed or eliminated entirely. Medicaid, disabled housing, Amtrak, student loans, and veterans' medical services are all likely to be slashed if Congress approves the budget. About the only thing that will get additional funding is the Pentagon, with a proposed 4.8 percent increase to $419.3 billion--and that's not including the cost of the war in Iraq. On the bright side, now we know what it's like to go to hell in a handbasket. Source

Oops, you forgot to mention, the new budget doesn't include the costs of the Afganistan situation either.
We do know that Bush wants to slash and burn education as well from the looks of it. Check out my post today.
