1. KnR for 504m in actual, since-last-year cuts to WIC |
|
529m from wildland fire programs, 997m from "Clean and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds", 600m for community health centers, 390m LIHEAP, oh and 2.9b for high speed rail.
Good to know this is "what we had to do" to get a fucking budget passed.

5. I think they will remain, at a greatly reduced size... |
|
and managed through the Faith-Based programs, which I believe will continue to receive increased funding. Just my prognostication.

Because you know you're not actually going to read all 4xx pages of the bill.
