How many more American insitutions can the Bush admin screw with?
They sure seem to be going for the big ones, lets count them off:

Separation of Church and State
Medicare
Social Security
Base 7 bankruptcy protection
ANWR
Endangered Species
Protection for Wild Horses (when passed in 70's congress rec'd more mail in support of this than any topic besides war in Vietnam)
Civil Liberties

and I'm sure I've left out many many more.

Why, all that's left for them to do is shred the constitution and burn the flag. (That's if they want to be thorough).

2. damn that's right, they are leaving no teacher alive and cutting pell
grants. I knew there are others.

It just seems like an all inclusive list, it's like they have attacked everything distincly american.

3. Social programs
Food stamps & other food subsidy programs
HUD funding including cuts to Section 8
Before & After school funding for children in poverty
Sex edu in public schools
Funding for Tech/Community school grants
Pretty much anything that helps the poor

Also:
Stem Cell research

4. However many they want
What's anyone gonna do about it? The press? They are now professional stenographers. The democratic leadership? Spineless. The public? Busy watching Michael Jackson trial and American Idol.
