Bush Victory = Decreased Education, Security

And not just for the most obvious reasons either. The White House is circulating a memo to departments saying that Bush intends to cut programs he's trying to win the election upon if he's (re)elected this November.

From the Post today:

The White House put government agencies on notice this month that if President Bush is reelected, his budget for 2006 may include spending cuts for virtually all agencies in charge of domestic programs, including education, homeland security and others that the president backed in this campaign year.

Continuing:

"Despite [administration] denials, this memorandum confirms what we suspected all along," said Thomas S. Kahn, Democratic staff director on the House Budget Committee. "Next February, the administration plans to propose spending cuts in key government services to pay for oversized tax cuts."
