Yeah you're right, the war and the economy is forcing GWB into positions like embracing a 200 billion farm bill, Teddy Kennedy's education plan, a disgusting socialist drug plan (where my family has to pay for rich seniors drugs), expansion of Americorps etc. etc. etc.
Poor little Georgie, just had no choice with this economy and war.
From the FRONT PAGE of The Indianapolis Star today is a story on funding cuts for Americorps, with these as the two lead paragraphs:
Dozens of Indiana programs that mentor at-risk youths, work with the homeless and build affordable housing could disappear or be gutted because of cutbacks announced Monday in the national AmeriCorps community service program.
Under the funding cuts, the number of AmeriCorps positions in Indiana will drop to 32 from 581 in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, state officials said Monday.
This doesn't look like an expansion to me. Anyone may read the story by going to www.indystar.com.
