She INCREASED the budget for the Special Olympics by 25K, as anyone who bothers to look at the published Alaskan state budgets of 2008 and 2009 can attest - they are online, for all to see. Last year - budget was 250K. This year - budget 275K. No cut, no slash....just another debunked smear. Furthermore, I challenge you to show me ANY cut by Palin related to programs that help the poor...find me ONE cut....and to be clear, so you don't get embarrassed like all the liberals who crowed about her cutting special needs funding only to discover she moved that program to a different place on the budget and RAISED funding - it has to be an ACTUAL CUT. I have the Alaskan state budgets for the last two years in front of me, and I anxiously await your reply.
