In what the Bush regime cynically calls A Blueprint for New Beginnings, the most wealthy of U.S. citizens will launch an unprecedented attack on the poor and working class in the United States. The Bush regime has presented a 2006 budget that will cut domestic programs to seniors, veterans, children, and the poor by $20 billion dollars next year. It amounts to an assault on the nation’s most needy citizens, robbing funds for education, food stamps, and healthcare for the most vulnerable who will pay for his $1.6 trillion dollar tax cuts enjoyed primarily by the wealthiest of U.S. citizens. Meanwhile the new Bush-budget will boost military spending and extend tax cuts for the rich. But make no mistake, this attack is not only on the minorities and the poor. It is now being waged on those who still think of themselves as the "middle class" in the United States. On Sunday, Vice President Dick Cheney defended the new Bush-Budget proposal saying that the regime seeks steep cuts in scores of federal programs because the regime is unwilling to back off from the tax cuts during his first term - benefits that primarily went to the wealthy.[more]
