Bush Spending Plan Sparks Protest - Yahoo! News
Bush Spending Plan Sparks Protest - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON -
President Bush, constrained by wars, hurricanes and exploding budget deficits, has sent Congress a 2007 spending plan that is garnering howls of pain from farmers, teachers, doctors and a wide array of other groups with special interests.
Democrats, as expected, pronounced the Republican president's budget plan dead on arrival. But many Republicans were equally sharp in their reservations about the $2.77 trillion spending blueprint the administration unveiled on Monday.
Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., called Bush's proposed cuts in education and health 'scandalous' while Sen. Olympia Snowe (news, bio, voting record), R-Maine, said she was 'disappointed and even surprised' at the extent of the administration's proposed cuts in Medicaid and Medicare."
