Record Deficit Forces Cuts in Bush Budget 52 minutes ago Add Business - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Adam Entous and Caren Bohan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) proposed a $2.4 trillion election-year budget on Monday that would slash more than 125 government programs and pledged to cut this year's record deficit in half -- a goal even fellow Republicans were skeptical he could achieve.
So what programs are being cut?Can anyone link me to a page where I can find out?Thanks

4. Anything that doesn't support the wealthy and the military |

in other words every social program designed to help the young, old, poor, disabled, you know the surplus population.

8. Maintenance to National parks and forests |
|
all will be farmed out to private corporations who will come in and insult beauty and nature with their bombastic advertisements, their loudness and greed to make money in some way from it all.
