Misleader: Bush talks, but cuts funds

[TreasonousBastard]

For three years he's been announcing programs and cutting them the next day when no one's looking.

Anyone notice a pattern here?

BUSH TALKS JOB TRAINING IN ADDRESS, BUT CUTS FUNDS

President Bush is visiting Ohio today to trumpet a $500 million job
training/education proposal announced in his State of the Union address. But
the president has recently proposed to cut almost $700 million out of the
same job training and education programs he is now touting.

As part of his new proposal, Bush said last night "I propose increasing our
support for America's fine community colleges." Last year, however, the
president sought to cut $230 million out of vocational/community college
education, along with "eliminating funding for technical education." When
lawmakers tried to restore the cuts in April, Bush was adamant that the cuts
be preserved, and his allies in the Senate voted down the funding. The
president also recently eliminated all $225 million in funding for youth job
training grants.

The other key piece of Bush's proposal involves college funding. The
president said last night, "I propose larger Pell grants for students." But
he did not mention his recent decision to "cut the Pell Grant program by
$270 million" - a move his own Education Department admits will cut off
84,000 students, and reduce grants for "an additional one million students."

1. And the people nod their heads and think

he's doing a great job. So sad. When is everybody gonna wake up?!?!? When is the media going to do their jobs and expose this fraud for what he is?

2. No media today mentions past job training cuts - but it is not bias -

it is just that our not controlled by the GOP right wing media just tends to act that way.
