Budget Business

The budget process is creeping along in Washington. While this may seem like a snoozer to some, it is pretty important in terms of locking Congress in to spending and/or cutting. To this end, they've got to do this thing right. Doing it right means rejecting the deep Medicare and Medicaid cuts proposed by the Administration and moving toward reducing America's skyrocketing health care bill in both programs.
Bottom line, if Congress is spending our money, they should be spending it on things that matter, like improving health care and financial security for everyone.
