Does anyone remember Bush saying in his last campaign that he would reduce the budget deficit at the expense of poor Medicaid recipients and pensioners while continuing to run up debt with tax cuts? I don't. "Overall, officials said the agreement envisioned savings of roughly $35 billion over five years from federal benefit programs. If implemented, it would mark the first time since 1997 that lawmakers have looked to this type of program for savings. The largest single portion of the $35 billion would come from Medicaid, which provides health care for low-income Americans, officials said. Another $6.6 billion in deficit reduction would come from federal pension programs, including higher fees paid by employers. About $3 billion would come from agriculture programs.
