Programs Bush Wants to Reduce or Kill.Safe and Drug Free Schools state grants<---I pulled this one of the list. I don't know exactly what it is, but a safe and drug free school program on the chopping block? I'll probably google later. Women's educational equity. Higher education demonstration projects for students w/disabilities. Administration for Children and Families Community Service Programs. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention congressional earmarks(I do know what the CDC is and what it does for us, this is ridiculous!). CDC Preventive Health and Health Services block grant. Health Resources and Services Administration emergency medical services for children. HRSA Healthy Community access program. Health Resources and Services Administration universal newborn hearing screening. Rural fire assistance (Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs). That one seems self explanatory. COPS law enforcement technology grants. I believe COPS is an anagram for Concerns of Police Survivors. My sister worked as a secretary there. They provide help and scholarships to children of Police Officers Killed In the Line of Duty. There national headquarters is right here in my little 'city'. Other state/local law enforcement assistance program terminations. Ok, those were ones I picked out that are on the TERMINATE list. I will google later so, I can make an informed opinion about them. Again, I copy/pasted what caught my eye. There is a whole 'nother list called MAJOR FUNDING CUTS. If interested, go read. This site claims to have exact text of the budget proposal. It is a whitehouse site, so I can only assume it is exactly as it says. I will go through at a later time, when I'm ready. |
