WOMEN AND CHILDREN LAST
House Republicans are pushing forward with their “shared sacrifice”
agenda. Today, they're asking newborns and low-income women to pitch in:
The House is expected to vote on a proposal to cut the Women, Infants
and Children program, which helps about 9 million mothers and their
young children, by 13 percent. The Center for Budget and Policy
Priorities estimates that up to 350,000 food-assistance recipients would
be cut off if the measure passes. At the same time, the House is also
debating a bill to increase the Pentagon’s budget by $17 billion -- even
though Defense already makes up more than 50 percent of discretionary
federal spending. Hey, maybe they’ll make their sacrifice next year.

Yep. Time Americans got control of their own government.
Obama has less support than Mubarak the day before he stepped down,
should not Obama step down now that his support is below 50%.
As for Congress, perhaps a capital hill protest is in order.
