UN F***ING BELIEVABLE!

Ok, now you got me on the rant bandwagon. The highlights of this Yahoo News article are this:

The $3.1 trillion proposed budget projects sizable increases in national security but forces the rest of government to pinch pennies.

While Bush projects that total security funding in the areas of the budget controlled by annual appropriations will go up by 8.2 percent, he projects only a 0.3percent increase in discretionary spending for the rest of government.

To achieve such a small boost, Bush would hold hundreds of programs well below what is needed to keep up with inflation. He also seeks to eliminate or sharply slash 151 programs he considers unnecessary.

Congress had agreed to eliminate 29 of 141 programs Bush targeted last year, which he said was a good start.

This year, the largest number of program terminations — 47 — are in education including elimination of programs to encourage arts in schools, bring low-income students on trips to Washington and provide mental health services.

Thanks George….screw the kids, screw the poor, screw the mentally challenged….but by God, keep America safe from the boogyman. At the rate he's going, I'm beginning to wonder what we will have to keep safe in the future!
