" It isn't Uncle Sam playing Scrooge. It is the Bush administration."
Tax Cuts for the wealthy... Reduced Services for the poor...

Pells Grants, will soon be gone....

Social Security, a thing of the past...

Robert Kuttner, co-editor of The American Prospect and columnist for the Boston Globe, says "You can't blame 'Uncle Sam' for what Bush does."

NEXT YEAR, 1.3 million college students will receive reduced Pell grants for college aid. Another 89,000 currently eligible students will get no aid at all. These cuts will save the Bush administration about $300 million, a small part of what it needs to pay for its tax cuts and military forays.
