Bush Budget: Less Health Care, More Wal-Mart

In keeping with tradition, President Bush's submitted budget proposes extensions of all his tax cuts, including a repeal of the estate tax (costly war, what?). Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone excoriates the Bush plan, noting that the cuts to Medicaid - health care for the poor - are about the same as the bottom line boost to the Walton family, the Wal-Mart heirs.

That's right. Bush's budget would reduce funding to Medicare by $28 billion and guarantee a tax break worth $32 billion to the Waltons. Now that's what I call democracy!
