Budget Politics
* Re “Democrats, GOP Parry Over Bush’s Budget Cuts,” April 15:
Parrying is when they rig campaign financing so they get elected by having the financially superior campaigns instead of by knowing enough to stop them from oppressing the poor and pampering the rich, right?

I read that President Bush’s budget eliminates health insurance coverage for the birth-control pill for 1.2 million federal employees (April 12). Now that he is in power, Bush has wasted no time cementing the Republican alliance of religious extremism and corporate greed. Things are getting scary and no one seems to care. Welcome to Pleasantville.
