  |  Budget Cuts To Benefit High Incomes Only! Heres a link that reviews the current 2006 budget. http://www.cbpp.org/12-20-05bud.htm Here are the main points why this budget is going to screw the low-income families. KEY FINDINGS IN THIS REPORT: The budget agreement would cause considerable hardship among low-income families and individuals and is closer in key respects to the original House-passed bill than the Senate bill. Cuts in the final bill include: $16 billion over 10 years in increased Medicaid co-payments and premiums and benefit reductions; new federal mandates in the welfare area that would lead to a loss of an estimated 255,000 child care slots for low-income working families not receiving cash welfare assistance; and nearly $8 billion in lost child support collections over the next 10 years. Such cuts could have been largely or fully averted had the conferees not dropped several Senate provisions that would have achieved substantial savings in reining in excessive Medicare payments to managed care companies and securing better prices from pharmaceutical companies for drugs dispensed though Medicaid. The savings that the budget agreement produces are expected to be used not to reduce the deficit, but to help finance several tax cuts slated to be enacted early next year that will primarily benefit high-income individuals. __________________________________________________ _________ Why does it not suprise me that Bush is using the USA for his own private income building tool AGAIN?!?!?!  Impeachment. This is just one more reason!!!

| Why can't Georgie (Bush) do something sexual, like Clinton did? Not that I give a d*mn personally, but it would give the sheet sniffers something to do and some fodder for the Democrats to work with..... LOL a lot! | |||||||||||||||||||||
