TERMINATED programs

$630 million CUT from Community Services Block Grants - - PROGRAM TERMINATED
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) provides funds through States to Community Action Agencies to fund social services to reduce poverty and increase self-sufficiency.

$99 million CUT from Preventive Health Block Grant - - PROGRAM TERMINATED
In 1981, Congress authorized the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (PHHSBG). The PHHSBG gives its 61 grantees (50 states, the District of Columbia, 2 American Indian tribes, and 8 U.S. territories) the autonomy and flexibility to tailor prevention and health promotion programs to their particular needs. The value of flexible funding to address public health concerns has never been greater than it is as we enter the 21st century. Terrorist acts, anthrax scares, and a growing realization of the insidious nature of chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease have heightened Americans' awareness of the role of public health. There is an urgent need for funds that can be used when other funds do not exist or when they are inadequate to address the extent of a health problem.

$33 million CUT from the Urban Indian Health Program - PROGRAM TERMINATED
Information, outreach and referral, dental services, comprehensive primary care services, limited primary care services, community health, substance abuse (outpatient and inpatient services), behavioral health services, immunizations, HIV activities, health promotion and disease prevention, and other health programs funded through other state, federal, and local resources, i.e. WIC, Social Services, Medicaid, Maternal Child Health, etc.

$20 million CUT from Emergency Medical Services for Children!!!!! - PROGRAM TERMINTED

$10 million CUT from Universal Newborn Screening - PROGRAM TERMINATED

1. George Bush: A leader for all America!

NOT!

Actions speak louder than words, and it's apparent Bush couldn't possibly care less about most American citizens.

He must be removed from office before he causes further damage.

[leftchick]

2. elimination of poor , sick and elderly in the US population is proceeding

according to Grover's plan. :cry:

[fooj]

3. Exactly. They did the same during Katrina.

:cry:

[Obamarama]

7. You took the words right out of my mouth, leftchick

Looking at these cuts, why doesn't Bush just call it his Untermenschen Elimination Plan.

[lapfog_1]

11. All that remains is the "final solution"

to the "war on poverty". I guess we now know who are some of the intended occupants of the newly built "detention centers" that Halliburton is building.

[leftchick]

12. exactly

:scared:

[Tigress DEM]

27. But Gonzales says I can kill anyone I wanna. W

I don't like these poor people. Off with their heads. And get rid of them brats too.

[Nomen Tuum]

32. But President Chimp says THE CHURCHES WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!

Sure they will. Nice to see that the party that once promised everyone a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage now promises that if you're a preacher who plays ball with them and takes those faith-based bribes, you get a Rolls Royce and filet mignons for dinner. As for everyone else, well as Lincoln said, God must really love the poor since he made so many of them...

[spinbaby]

35. The churches are overwhelmed

In our community, it's the liberal Protestant churches that are trying to make a difference and they are totally overwhelmed with need. Churches should be in the business of providing spiritual help, not food and shelter.

[degreesofgray]

4. In America, we tighten our belts

by starving our children and kicking the poor in the groin.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Don't forget the elderly who now can decide to either eat or buy

their meds., can't do both in bushMurica. But hey, that least Gays can't marry and the 2nd amendment is alive, for now! :sarcasm: Ah geeze, this Country sucks more every day. :cry:

[jbnow]

16. They can eat or buy meds unless

they want to heat their house.

You just can't have everything

[Daphne08]

34. There's a third option - we oldies can just hurry up and die! n/t

[SupplyConcerns]

17. Bush: "Here, let me tighten that belt for you..."

[DemonGoddess]

5. and lets not forget

this is supposed to help all with health and welfare concerns right? :sarcasm:

[cornermouse]

6. Anyone who still retained any delusions about who and what

Bush is should be cured with this.

[Karmadillo]

8. A great opportunity for the Opposition Party to show

what it's made of.

[central scrutinizer]

9. The Class Warfare has ended

The rich have won, now they want to pick off the few survivors. mop up and go home.

[robbedvoter]

10. Suck it up! Dick needs a new pair of shoes...

[sofa king]

13. It gets worse for our Native American friends.

Recently, Judge Royce Lamberth directed the federal government to pay many millions of dollars in attorney's fees to the plaintiffs in the landmark Cobell v. Norton case. Rather than ask Congress for the money, the Bush Administration has instead decided to take the funds out of services to American Indians and Alaska Natives.

That's right, the federal government is guilty of stealing and mismanaging a hundred billion dollars of money which was never theirs in the first place. Now that they have to start paying for it, the Bush Administration proposes to come up with the money from services already intended for the victims.

That of course is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm just going to come out and say it: if you're against American Indians, if you tolerate what's happening to American Indians today, you're not a Democrat, and you're not worthy of being called an American. All those evil bastards better pray I don't get in a position where I can fuck them the same way they're fucking my fellow citizens.

[Breeze54]

26. Holy Shit!!!!

:nuke:
Can I copy this??
Thanks, already did.

[leftstreet]

15. Where are our Hypocrite Oath Medical Professionals?

Why haven't they risen up by the thousands to stand up for the health needs of the most vulnerable people in our country?

Guess they don't give a shit either.

[Disturbed]

18. The RW with the complicity of the majority of Dems are...

turning the USA into a 3rd World Neo Fascist Police State. Will this trend continue?

[LisaL]

19. Our kids can remain uneducated. Our sick and elderly can die off.

As long as we got enough bombs to bomb the hell out of some poor country.

[WLKjr]

20. Dontcha know we've got lots of killin' to do!

Killing costs lots of money!

[LisaL]

21. Extremely expensive, that's for sure.

[yorkiemommie1]

22. Compassionate Conservatism my ***

n/t

[kiteinthewind]

23. Don't you just love those compassionate "Christians"?

If Jesus were here, He would condemn Bush as a hypocrite! :spank:

[RepublicanElephant]

24. brilliant post! will spread it around! (n/t)

:thumbsup:

[iamthebandfanman]

25. i just read about it on msnbc

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11100952/

"New budget plan squeezes education, Medicare
Bush’s $2.77 trillion proposal boosts defense spending, cuts other programs"
--snip--
WASHINGTON - President Bush sent Congress a $2.77 trillion budget plan Monday that would make his first-term tax cuts permanent while reducing government-funded programs to deal with exploding budget deficits. Almost a third of the 141 targeted programs are in education.

[Kurovski]

28. Compassionate Conservatism in action.

Sink or swim...it builds character.

But how many hours can you work at Wal-Mart and how many positions are available?

I hear the military is hiring. BushCo is even offering free hats to those inquiring about positions in their largest subsidiary.

[G_j]

29. k & R (Kick the poor, Rob the sick)

disgusting beyond words

[Vinca]

30. But the most important thing is that

the well off will be getting their tax cuts. New jobs will be created (in India and China), more money will be spent on consumer goods (from India and China) and the economy will be boosted (in India and China).

[OzarkDem]

31. No new funds for Katrina victims or rebuilding New Orleans

Sen. Landrieu was duped. Can't believe she fell for their bait and switch tactics to win her vote for Alito.

[Hubert Flottz]

33. 70 billion more for the haves and have mores in another tax cut...

for the rich! Huge increase in Military spending!

[Maru Kitteh]

36. I also saw something about a child support cut? Do you have any

info on that? Are they just going to give up the mostly pathetic stabs at enforcement they do make now or what?

Just keep shoving those abandoned mothers further and further down till they have nothing left to do but throw themselves at the mercy of the church doorstep. Break them, crush them, destroy their hope.

[jackstraw45]

41. $12 million from enforcement of court-ordered child support payments

Cut.

[Maru Kitteh]

43. Well that should all but wipe out the pitiful farce

that is the current system of "enforcement" now.

[jackstraw45]

44. $12 million = 2 hours in Iraq

Over the next 2 hours, we're spending $12 million in Iraq.

[mdmc]

37. what awful cuts

I hope no Dems support this bill..

[raccoon]

39. If they do we should blast them from here to Iraq. Figuratively. nt

[Nimrod2005]

38. That's what I call TRUE TERRORISM against America!!!

And all Americans.

[Deja Q]

40. The rich can buy their water.

The writing is on the wall, folks. You can either accept it or not.

Nothing I can do, so I choose to accept it.

[Joey Liberal]

42. Herr Boosh hates the USA n.t

[KamaAina]

45. "Culture of life", budget of death

Death to poor and/or sick Americans. Death to any Iraqis (or Iranians, Syrians, North Koreans, whoever) who happen to be standing on top of something PNAC wants. :grr: :banghead:

[RazzleDazzle]

46. Ah, I can see it's Fiscal Responsibility, GOP style

:puke:

[Rex]

47. They only have 3 years to destroy our infrastructure.

Boosh had to accelerate our demise...
