How
will we cut the pie?
More guns, less butter.
And housing. And aid to states and localities.
And healthcare...
Here are some links to some of the best
analyses out there. |
The
federal budget is more than a lot of numbers:
it determines a whole lot about what happens
in our country. President Bush just
released his proposed federal budget for FY06,
and it reveals a lot about his priorities. There's
less money for programs that serve most marginal
people in our country: poor, elderly, ill; and
more money for programs like new nuclear weapons
and missile defense. And the tax cuts continue
to favor the wealthiest among us.
Many
individuals and organizations are asking if
this is what we are all about as a country;
and are offering detailed critiques of the budget
proposal. We hope you'll take the time to find
out more.
This
is our budget; shouldn't it reflect our priorities?
