Let's see...

WIC - Loses $500 million. Fuck them poor kids who want things like milk & formula.
$1 billion from programs which prevent STDs. Not sure what these are so I can't really say whether or not they should be cut.
HUD - Loses $1 billion. Fuck those poor people who need a place to live!
DoD - GAINS $5 billion. Fuck those brown people in other countries who need to be liberated. Unless they don't have oil. Then let them all die.


In the end this doesn't show everything. Like what was included in the stop-gap measure recently voted in. What's happening to Planned Parenthood? What happened to the proposed tax cuts to the mega rich?

In the words of John Stewart: "I fucking give up."

Analysis at the Reid Report of the AP's numbers breakdown.

TL;DR For the moment, PP, Pell grants, ObamaCare are safe.

But HOW ELSE will we offset the tax cuts for the top 15,000 earners in America? Won't somebody please think of the spoiled children!?!

Edit:

People might want to look through this first:

It is the actual numbers.

It's pretty rough. I don't see much of anyone not getting hammered here. Also, not sure I see where that 5 bil increase to DoD is here, from this chart it's like a 6 bil reduction.
