Of Priorities and Phantom "stuff"

[Rickypt]

Just days after Congress passed the '06 budget with all the Medicaid/Medicare/student loan/food stamps, etc. cuts, Bush released this budget which calls for another $50 billion in cuts to Medicaid and Medicare.

He is dismantling the safety net for poor Americans. It has nothing to do with getting rid of the budget deficit, as his tax cuts will keep us in debt.

We lost by 1 vote in the Senate and 2 in the House last time. With Specter calling the budget "scandalous" and being an election year with no one wanting to cut health care so close to a vote, we might get lucky this year.
