Keep in mind that cutitng $300m from Healthcare will probably only really cut $30m due to federal matches. Once the department crashes and burns Dardenne's project office will move on to abuse, milk, and ruin the next federally funded project. surely they are going to get a lot of federal money for flood recovery, public safety, and coastal restoration.

I've told this story before. When I was in the Senate in the 80's,Edwin Edwards came into the Senate side room in the committee hall at 8:00am. We had committees at 9:00. He told us we had to meet and come up with $300 million in cuts today. We got the Budget and 8 of us went through it and simply drew a line, with a 99 cent ink pen, through what we wanted to cut. We did it, the House committee agreed, and we passed it in normal procedures. I guess the special interest groups now would stop that. We just did our job. No big deal. We were in charge then, not the special interest groups. That's what's wrong with Washington now.
