The GOP's Despicable Budget Cuts

Washington, DC - After five years of record-breaking Bush deficits, and mind-
boggling giveaways to the White House's corporate friends, Republicans in
Congress are finally addressing runaway spending. So, what is their long-
awaited answer to the budget crisis they have created: slashing the programs
that help the most vulnerable Americans get by every day.

Today, the Washington Post reported that House Republicans will "take steps to
cut as much as $50 billion from the fiscal 2006 budget for health care for the
poor, food stamps and farm supports." NBC reports that student loan programs
will also be cut.

"It is despicable that the Republican Leadership in Congress has decided to
pile the costs of their failed fiscal leadership on the backs of our most
vulnerable Americans," said Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Josh
Earnest. "Taking food and health care away from children, the elderly and the
disabled is not a proposal but a slap in the face to the millions of Americans
who have already been pushed deeper into poverty by the Republicans' failed
policies."

"Republicans in Washington have shown their true colors by putting corporate
giveaways and tax breaks ahead of the needs of most Americans. Together we can
do better. Americans deserve leadership that puts our government to work
helping American families"
