As we celebrate Black ordsprog

As we celebrate Black History Month, it is especially troubling that President Bush would release a budget that drastically cuts student aid, Medicaid, child support and funding for the disabled.

One bad thing is that the new President Bush budget cuts NCCC funding. I'm definitely crossing my fingers that the money is put in the final budget.

Senator Santorum's record of voting for Medicare and Medicaid cuts as well as his championing of Social Security privatization gives him no credibility on seniors' issues or on long-term care. Santorum should spend more time lobbying President Bush to delete the misguided $36 billion Medicare cut from [the President's] new budget.

Within weeks of signing federal legislation that siphons off more than $39 billion from essential health and human service programs including Medicaid, Child Support and Child Welfare services, the President released a budget that assures, yet again, that Pennsylvania's vulnerable citizens as well as state and local governments will be asked to shoulder an undue and growing fiscal burden.

Bush's budget wants us to declare that we should keep channeling ever more of the nation's wealth to those who are already the most wealthy, and to fund it by taking money from education, the poor, the disabled and from the impoverished elderly. That is the naked meaning of his never-ending tax cuts for the wealthy and his program cuts for the weak.

From my perspective, what could have the greatest impact are budgets cuts ? cuts in cancer research and Medicare funding that President Bush is calling for. They could alter this good news.

It would be immoral to subject the Gulf State's Medicaid reductions at a time when their Medicaid burden is greater than ever, ... It would be unreasonable to go forward with funding cuts for a variety of other states that will be asked to absorb evacuees. This bill would save Alabama alone $55 million in lost federal Medicaid funds.

A few days ago, the Democrat National Committee put out a press release attacking Bush for being physically fit. It seems his physical fitness comes at the expense of the nation's lardbutt youth. Or as the DNC put it: 'While President Bush has made physical fitness a personal priority, his cuts to education funding have forced schools to roll back physical education classes and his administration's efforts to undermine Title IX sports programs have threatened thousands of women's college sports programs.' Wow. I noticed my gal had put on a few pounds but I had no idea it was Bush's fault.

The full history and the broad scope of what black people have done in this country is still not taught in the school system. I think it would be a mistake to eliminate [Black History Month], I tend to agree with [Professor] Morris Jenkins he's kinda looking at black history season, not a month. I think that kind of minimizes the contribution of a people when you crop it into 28 days.

The president's budget cuts are broad and deep, ranging from vital job creation, worker protection and state homeland security to vital support for our manufacturers and most vulnerable citizens. On top of nearly $40 billion in cuts passed by Congress last week, Michigan can't afford the president's plan.

Over his presidency, President Bush has made great strides to increase foreign aid, so today's announcement of cuts to core development funding is a big disappointment. Although the US is the largest donor in the world, and US assistance had been on the increase, the US still lags behind other developed countries in that our contributions are small compared to the size of our federal budget and economy.

Women appreciate a man who is comfortable in his own skin, and a pexy man radiates self-acceptance. Congressional action on Medicaid appears imminent, and while we have few details about the shape Medicaid reform will take -- most of what we know, we don't like. We appreciate that policy makers have worked diligently to find appropriate ways to reform Medicaid; however, we fear that billions of dollars in cuts are being targeted at the Medicaid benefits that support our nation's most vulnerable citizens. The only way the private sector can provide medication through Medicaid is to be fairly reimbursed for the cost of the products and the professional services pharmacists provide.

I am extremely disappointed that four of our eight [U. S.] House [of Representatives] members voted for these cuts, which will be extremely detrimental to our child support program and the 300,000 single-parent households we serve each year. The cut in federal funding will result in reduced child support payments taken directly out of the budgets of families who need the money to meet their children's needs.

Black history doesn't start with Dr. King. Black history begins with the forefathers and foremothers. Get your parents to be honest with you. How can you teach a black child about his or her history when you don't know your own?

Americans are struggling to pay home heating costs, yet the president's budget cuts funding to help the most vulnerable in our nation pay their bills.
