How does this qualify? Support these programs to get elected then cut them once you are elected? Hmm. If this were a different president, this might be called manipulative at best, or possibly even waffling or even flip-flopping. Nice that the sacrifices are starting to show up, especially when they are for Head Start and programs for infants and children. Maybe we could call this the No Rich Child Left Behind?
Not even on the list, btw, is that Bush is planning on cutting Homeland Security too. Leadership, is what this is!

Political courage?
2006 Cuts In Domestic Spending On Table (washingtonpost.com): "But the cuts are politically sensitive, targeting popular programs that Bush has been touting on the campaign trail. The Education Department; a nutrition program for women, infants and children; Head Start; and homeownership, job-training, medical research and science programs all face cuts in 2006."

I certainly don't have a problem with a balanced budget, but hate to see it balanced on the backs of the poor. And that is the only way this administration will do it.
