Once again, Congressional Budget Cuts are an oxymoron. A cut in an increase is not a cut. A cut is when you receive less money next year than you received this year. Every year we hear how more money should be spent on this program or that, well sure that would be nice, but there are ways to spend more money without increased funding. Look at the Department of Education, for every $1 paid into the Department only $0.38 makes it to the classroom, students and teachers. $0.62 is eaten up by the Department. You want to increase spending on Education, eliminate the Department of Education and you could almost triple spending with out increasing taxes or cutting any other program.
