Bush[s budget cuts to states
I am always stunned by the main stream media lack of attention to information regarding funding cuts by President Bush since his first year in office. Thank you for your offering of the facts of his latest foray into financially punishing the people who need this assistance more than Halliburton, Big Pharma and the energy companies as well as the recipients of the immoral tax cuts for the very wealthy. I will contact my state and federal representatives, as well as their budget commitees. I will also pass on your information to our hometown newspapers. I want to add that President Bush freely spends our tax dollars for personal projects and one source that nearly sickened me was The Nations's stunning,"Abstinence Gluttons" story dated June 19, 2007 by Michael Reynolds.
