Cut and RUn

House Republicans Aim to Cut Funds for EPA, Energy, Health Care - Businessweek: "After releasing a partial list of proposed cuts yesterday, Republicans are scheduled today to spell out their full plan to trim at least $35 billion from the deficit, which is projected to reach $1.5 trillion this year. Republicans say the measure also will bar the Obama administration from spending any money to implement the 2010 health-care overhaul.

Republicans propose ending funds for the public service AmeriCorps, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and a program that provides contraceptives to low-income families. The Environmental Protection Agency’s budget would be cut by 16 percent below what Obama has requested."
