It's morning somewhere

Molly Ivins has an article entitled "Screw the Children" She's talking about President Bush's proposed budget cuts.
...Good Lord, what a nasty document. The cuts are in health care, childcare, Head Start, nutrition programs, food stamps and foster care. Because budgets are such abstract things – add a little here, cut some there, all produced by the Department of Great Big Numbers – it's hard to see what they actually mean to real people's lives... Remember when everything was for the sake of the children? Apparently, that's not a primary goal anymore. The radio spits out tidbits now and then about various cuts proposed and I have to admit, I find them pretty ghastly. It looks like it's just more ways to screw the poor. Sure, there are people who abuse the system, just like there are CEOs and rich folk that screw the system. Not everyone is like that. When the needy get the help that can aid them in arising above their current situation, that is a good thing. Taking away the tools that help them subsist, is not.
