"'Nussle’s budget did not specify which programs would be hit by the proposed $69 billion reductions. But based on the House committees assigned to find the savings, the Medicaid program for the poor and elderly could be targeted for up to $20 billion in five-year cuts — more than double Bush’s plan — plus other reductions for student loans, welfare, farmers and veterans.'
“I’ll give you credit for being bold and aggressive,” said Rep. John Spratt of South Carolina, the budget panel’s top Democrat. He said the spending cuts “do a world of hurt, but in the end they barely dent this big deficit.”
The House budget also called for $106 billion in five-year tax cuts, about the same as Bush’s plan. In a nod to moderates, the House measure would give only $45 billion of those procedural protections from Senate filibusters that can kill legislation, though House leaders were aiming eventually to approve the full $106 billion.
Gregg’s budget would protect $70 billion in tax reductions."
We democrats should take amonth off and let the GOP pay the bills for the month.
Maybe the Gop should change the partys symbol fron the elephant to the SUV. Large apperence and very little content.
Or hummer2. Awful lot of blowing going on at capital hill.
