Beware the Bush Budget

Matt Taibbi has a great article concerning the horrors of the new Bush budget and Bush plans to gut services going to the most needy to pay for making his tax cut permanent and repealing the estate tax.

For example, if the estate tax is repealed the Walton family (the Wal-Mart Waltons, not the Walton's Mountain clan) would save about $32.7 billion dollars over the next ten years. During that same time frame Medicaid would lose about $28 million.

Now that's a fair trade. I'm sure the Waltons would make thier windfall available to take care of the needy. Not.

Congress needs to wake up.
