http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/07/lilly_spending.htmlAs U.S. spending on the war in Iraq increases, the Bush administration has tried to compensate by tightening spending on domestic investments. Senior Fellow Scott Lilly discusses the effects of these domestic spending cuts in this new video from the Center for American Progress. He highlights in particular the ever-increasing cost of college tuition and cutbacks on important research in cancer, heart disease, and juvenile diabetes at the National Institutes of Health.
Congress should not let the president get away with a spending plan that hurts everyday Americans.
