President Bush unveiled his Budget for the 2009 Fiscal Year budget, and the results are what we expected from this Administration. The analysis of his budget is a failure for the American people and a failure for Ohio. The projected 2008 deficit will be $410 billion, the second largest in history, and the 2009 deficit is projected to $407 billion, which will be the third largest.
It is clear that the President doesn’t value healthcare for our grandparents judging by the drastic cuts he wants to make in Medicare. He doesn’t value keeping home heating affordable for our working poor because of his drastic cuts to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program and clearly the President doesn’t value the safety and security of our children because of his cuts to the Community Oriented Policing Services program which would be eliminated completely. I suppose the only values that this President does stand for are ensuring no bid contracts get to his friends and the richest 1f Americans enjoy tax cuts at the expense of the middle class. Look below at these numbers which show just how badly our state will be affected.
