A group of House Republicans have proposed a plan to offset the costs of relief and rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina that includes trimming military quality-of-life programs, including health care. Possible sources of funding cuts to free up money for Katrina relief include reduced health benefits, consolidation of the three military exchange systems and the closure of the military’s stateside school system.

Hmm...

Let's see...we can cut the programs for AMERICANS IN UNIFORM and their FAMILIES...

Or we can cut ALL PROGRAMS AND BENEFITS for ILLEGAL INFILTRATORS...

Gee, which gets proposed first? It's the oldest trick that local political hacks play...cut the VITAL and most PAINFUL services to the public firts!

One more SMOKE and MIRROR plan from those who are WAAAY too out-of-touch with America!

Let me conter-propose some things...

1) GUT the Highway bill to the ABSOLUTE BONE! Dump the Prescription Drug Coverage plan!
2) Consfiscate the Congressional Pension money, and make these WHORES live with Social Security like they fopisted on America!
3) End ALL spending on FORMER PRESIDENTS! They have shown they can majke $$$...let THEM pay for their travel, and security etc...
4) Cut NEA and NPR OUT of the budget
5) No more UN money, nor ANY "Foreign Aid" to places like N. Korea, or ANY Ilsamazi nation, and get BACK all the $$$ from the PaleSimians
6) Eliminate any and ALL aid to Illegal Infiltrators...fine the employers of Illegal Infiltrators MASSIVELY...cross check the Registrations of Vehicles with SSI and Welfare payouts (look for Cadillac Escalades on welfare), and look for MULTIPLE payouts to the same address...use the DEA tactic and CONFISCATE all assets of Illegals UNTIL they can prove they were acquired LEGALLY (hell, if I can't travel with a wad of cash without worrying that any local cop pulling me overe for any perceived infraction could then CONFISCATE my cash and make me prove how I earned it, why not ILLEGALS!)

I'm just starting here...

What you say makes far too much sense for anyone in Washington to take it seriously. And apparently for some Freepers, too.

How about Congress cut their own benefits. A Congressman makes a pretty penny, and then when you add all of the benefits they have in addition to their annual salary, there's a lot that could be cut to fund Katrina relief efforts.

If this is true, the GOP should go F themselves ten times over.

They are disgraceful, disgusting, deplorable, detestable, and downright awful to ask our servicemen to bear any of the brunt of this while you have illegals, welfare cheats, corporate welfare, ect running rampant.

read the actual RSC proposal!

Right on.

It is a sacrilege to call these Marxists Republicans.

There is over $1 TRILLION dollars in FY 2006 budgeted for "Human Resources", a fancy name for welfare and various social wealth transfer programs.

There is ZERO need to cut NASA, ZERO need to cut military programs or anything other than other social welfare programs.

For any Republican to suggest that we cut any program other than programs involved in social welfare is stating clearly they are as much RAT-like as typical RATs.

Do not allow your Republican officials to act like RATs. Take the money form other social programs! There is over $1 TRILLION to play with.
