Feb 11, 2005 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's quest to cut or eliminate as many as 150 federal programs will reduce funding for state and local homeland security grants, job training and several education programs, the White House said on Friday.

The White House issued 233 pages of documents giving specifics on how Bush would meet his goal of limiting the growth of discretionary spending for fiscal 2006 to 2.1 percent — less than the rate of inflation.

Bush had promoted plans to cut or eliminate 150 programs in his State of the Union address on Feb. 2. But his $2.57 trillion budget, released on Monday, did not specify which programs.

The White House provided the list in response to a request from House of Representatives Budget Committee Chairman Jim Nussle, an Iowa Republican.

1. I don't know the answer to your specific question
however, I am aware of people that are pretty concerned about the new budget-

There is one comical aspect to this horrible "take out America" budget that has been proposed....all those Republican contractors and builders that get all those government contracts are going to start screaming. That is the only smile I get when I think of this plan---

We are going to be in Asheville first of March---as soon as I know the dates for sure, I will PM you--was hoping for an A'ville get together!

There is no doubt the proposed budget is too voluminous for anyone to actually read and research to the extent needed..
more insanity to come..
