Bush Plan Eyes Cuts for Schools, Veterans

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=533&e=3&u=/ap/20040527/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_budget_cuts

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration has told officials who oversee federal education, domestic security, veterans and other programs to prepare preliminary 2006 budgets that would cut spending after the presidential election, according to White House documents.

The programs facing reductions — should President Bush be re-elected in November — would also include the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department.

Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., in a teleconference set up by Democratic presidential contender John Kerry campaign, called it the end of an administration "hide the ball" budget strategy.


"The ball is now out for everyone to see," Graham said. "The only thing that's left in place is the part of the ball that is labeled 'tax cuts for my rich friends.'"

They've already burned those bridges, anyway.

4. Come one ...

Give the guy a break. We have to pay for that new state of the art prison in Iraq SOMEHOW!!!!!! Plus their is the cost of RAZING Abu Ghraib. No doubt they will use the same Bechtel crews that demolished WTC 7.

But Bush will likely make SOME concessions. For example, they could same money on Abu Ghraib 2 by not installing camera systems.
