This column is from the Boston Globe of yesterday highlighting the fact that the people that get the worst end of the President's policies are those that deserve it least. I honestly really find this whole thing sick. I believe in a government that lends a helping hand and a fair chance to those that deserve that. Heck, one day that could be just about anyone. Bush instead chooses to serve the people with the most while giving those with less very little. Here is a link and an excerpt:

The Crulest Cuts
By Derrick Z. Jackson, Boston Globe

The majority-Republican House last week narrowly passed $39 billion in budget cuts for Medicaid, Medicare, student loans, and child support. The Republican-majority Senate had already passed the cuts. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the former acting Republican House majority leader, declared, ''Once again, House Republicans are on record as defending budget discipline. We have achieved $39 billion in savings, while streamlining government."

It was a cutthroat lie. Everyone knows the cuts are meant to fund $70 billion in tax breaks for the rich. Bush repeated in the State of the Union that he wants to make the tax cuts permanent. As the government streamlines and disciplines the poor, hope springs eternal for entitlements for the rich.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated last week that the cuts in Medicaid would result in 13 million people paying higher prices for prescription drugs by 2010 and 20 million people by 2015. It estimated that federal cuts would force states to impose cost-sharing requirements for at least one nonprescription health service or raise them for 13 million people by 2015.

The CBO predicts that cuts at the federal level would force already strapped states to impose premiums on 900,000 Medicaid enrollees by 2010 and 1.3 million by 2015. Similarly, 900,000 enrollees would see their benefits cut to take care of their teeth, eyes, and mental health.

The CBO estimates that higher healthcare premiums will result in 45,000 enrollees -- more than can fit into Fenway Park -- losing coverage by 2010. By 2015, the number would be 65,000 by 2015, equivalent to the number of privileged people who just packed Detroit's Ford Field for the Super Bowl.
