Amy, Tejek & Thread, in Calif they are proposing a budget that cuts 138M from people who are disabled, blind, etc. If we have a population around 30M (?), that's only $5 per person. They are also cutting RND by $11M or so.

The budget shortfall is about $14 billion. Obviously every program will need to cut spending. It's only fair. Why focus only on services for the blind and disabled, unless you want to play politics?

By the way, for most programs in the budget, a "cut" is defined as a smaller increase in spending than previously planned, or an increase that supposedly doesn't keep up with population growth and inflation. Can you find out what the budget was for the disabled and the blind last year vs. what Arnold is planning for this year?
