Thanks, America. Thankyou for electing Shrub for another term. Finally, we have a leader courageous enough to stick it to those lazy local emergency responders.
According to figures obtained by the AP, Bush would slice a $600 million grant program for local police agencies to $60 million next year. Grants to local firefighters, for which Congress provided $715 million this year, would fall to $500 million.
That's what you get for backing John Kerry, you bastards. 9/11 was over three years ago, and your fifteen minutes of fame are clearly up. But it's not just fire and police departments that Shrub is standing up against. He's also going after the bottom-feeders of society--the old and the poor.
The $2.2 billion program that provides low-income people — in large part the elderly — with home-heating aid would be cut to $2 billion.
Suck it, old-timers! We gots an empire to maintain! That $200 million is owed to Halliburton anyhow.
Defense Department documents obtained Friday show the Pentagon's budget would grow by 4.8 percent to $419.3 billion.
So let me make sure that I understand this...another $20 billion will be spent on defense, and this is in part being made possible by cutting about a billion dollars in funding for police, fire, and support for the poor and elderly. And that increase in defense spending doesn't even account for the $5 billion a month going to the war in Iraq and operations in Afghanistan? Awesome!!!

But why stop there? You deserve more, America. You deserve a president who will also fight against such wasteful government agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
His plan would also cut the budget of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by 9 percent, to $6.9 billion, the documents show.... The president's budget would also eliminate a block grant that provides $131 million for preventive health services.
Take that...sick people! Take that...people who might get sick!

What a brave leader we have in George W. Bush. He could buckle and reduce some of the tax cuts given to the ultra-rich to pay for all these programs, but what sort of message would that send to our enemies? Again, I can't believe I didn't support him. I love the GOP!!!
