cuts for the poor, incentives for the rich

House Approves Cuts to Labor Programs

WASHINGTON - Funding for job training, rural health care, low-income schools and help for people lacking health insurance would face big cuts under a bill passed Friday by the House.

In practice, that translates to an 84 percent cut — from $300 million down to $47 million — in training programs for doctors and nurses, and $806 million in cuts to Bush's No Child Left Behind education initiative, a more than 3 percent drop. Grants for local community-action agencies that help the poor would be cut in half, to $320 million.

Imagine what would happen if the GOP made similar "tough decisions" targeting the likes of Halliburton, Big Oil, Big Pharma or our fantastic credit and banking sector? Not very likely with this bunch.
