White House Cuts the Cheese
The Bush administration released a list of 65 programs it wants to cut (either fully or partially) in the 2005 budget.

Here are a couple keepers for the book on compassion.

- School Alcohol Abuse Reduction. 2004: $30 million; 2005: $0.
- Comprehensive School Reform grants for low-income schools. 2004: $234 million; 2005: 0.
- Eisenhower Math and Science Education Programs. 2004: $20 million; 2005: 0.
- Even Start family literacy. 2004:$247 million; 2005: 0.
- HOPE VI public housing revitalization. 2004: $149 million; 2005: 0.
- Brownfields Redevelopment. 2004: $25 million; 2005: 0.
- Smaller Learning Communities to divide large high schools into smaller ones. 2004: $174 million; 2005: 0.

And how about that homeland security thing-a-ma-jig.

- Local Law Enforcement Grants. 2004: $1.58 billion; 2005: 0.
- Homeland Security first responders. 2004: $4.37 billion; 2005: $3.56 billion.

And to rehash bad memories from 2000.

- Election Reform. 2004: $1.49 billion; 2005: $65 million.
