Even CNN-Money Thinks They’re Mean
CNN-Money has a gallery that they call the Meanest budget cuts. Their choices for the seven cruelest cuts in the bill just passed are:
- Community health centers $600M
- Land mine removal $14M
- WIC [Women, Infants, & Children] food program $500M
- Heating assistance $390M
- Housing assistance for Native Americans $50M
- US Institute of Peace $10M
- Administration on Aging $16M
There is nothing about reducing the travel budget of Congress, one of the first things cut in businesses, or for the other money that Congresscritters have stuffed into their budget, but it’s necessary to stop supporting the purchase of milk for poor children, or removing the land mines that kill them.
