The $1.2 trillion bill covers every Cabinet agency through Sept. 30, when the current budget year ends. It imposes severe spending cuts on domestic programs and foreign aid. Targets include schools, nutrition programs, environmental protection, and heating and housing subsidies for the poor.
Cut heating subsidies for the poor? These heartless bastards were up in arms over the supposed "death panels" that were going to speed up Grannie's trip to the great beyond, but it is just fine if she freezes to death?
About that $1.2 trillion bill, allow me to reiterate:
400 people have as much wealth as half of our population.
The combined net worth of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans in 2007: $1.5 trillion. The combined net worth of the poorest 50% of American households: $1.6 trillion, and these Republicans are attacking schools, nutrition programs, women's health, the environment, and the poor.
Come 2012 remember the Republican Promise to America:
Tax cuts to the rich and fuck the poor!
