At least they have balls...

Well, republicans have balls, there's no denying that. I mean obviously it takes balls to slash $50 billion from vital social programs, most for the poor, such as medicaid, food stamps and student loans. They have the nerve to do this under the guise of offsetting the costs of cleaning up and reconstructing New Orleans...Now if that isn't the most backwards logic I have ever seen, I don't know what is. In order to help the people of New Orleans, a large percentage of which benefit from said programs, lets cut funding to these programs. In addition, they are looking to add another $70 billion in tax cuts to the budget, and in typical Republican fashion, these tax cuts are largely for the wealthy. Hmmm...hold on 1 second, I'm not really good with math...$70 billion - $50 billion = $20 billion...Wait...that can't be right...$70 billion - $50 billion = $20 billion...no wait...it is right...rather than cut vital services for the poor, republicans could easily choose to slash their taxcut for the wealthy, aka people who don't need it, by $50 billion, and still have $20 billion to give to the wealthy, not exactly what i would do with the $20 billion, but hey, its a compromise...
