I have my pet theories, too, but generally keep them on a big chain hidden in the back yard. ;-) Back in November, I asked some of the very same questions, as I pondered at the time, if anyone were actually *listening* to the hyperbole surrounding the Bush plan he was expounding. Now that the details of the current Bush budget proposal are becoming known, I cannot help but wonder why anyone would be surprised that some of the government programs which serve the very poorest of society are high on the list of those due to be cut, among them Medicaid, farm supports and Neighborhood Block Grants. Imagine that! Bush is taking money away from one of the *only* sources of assistance for the farmers and indigent/elderly and using it to fund his war in Iraq. You'll have to pardon me while I get nauseous.
