H.R.235
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:h.r.235:

It's a doozy. Repeals LEAP, removes all funding for NPR, Transportation, Defense, Elimination of federal jobs, Conservation, Water grants etc.

I went through it but haven't done any background research on the individual areas to see if they are just dropping programs that have reached their funding terminus anyways but this legislation is moving through all the committees.

2. Yikes! That's awful.
Legal aid will die if attorneys can't get their loans repaid by working there. Legal aid is already overstretched.

And what are the doing to PBS?
