In a move that stays perfectly aligned with the far-rights ambition to kill any and all social programs, benefit each other and screw all other Americans, the 1600 crew has made a proposal to shift more responsibility for medicare to the states, you know where we all live and are for the most part facing serious fiscal crisis right now.

The Crew is proposing a modest 12.7 billion dollar increase of money to the states over seven years. Awol of course can't do the math, so here goes: 12.7 billion over seven years (and that's just the proposal, it has to get by DeLay and Co in the House) to 50 states works out to according to my calculator 3.6 million/state/year. Not a real impressive number.

And, Smirky want to toss more responsibility for Head Start and the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to the states as well. CHIP is the program he dissed (Acrobat required) while Governor of Texas, what a shock. Why does he hate Americans so much that he lies down with the Venomous Spiders of the Far Right?
