BOSTON (AP) — Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino are preparing to highlight how across-the-board federal budget cuts known as the sequester will hit National Institute of Health research funding.
The $85 billion in budget-wide cuts automatically start taking effect March 1 if congressional lawmakers fail to agree on a compromise.
Comments
I hope Boehner is pleased with himself with the sequester, getting 98% or whatever that he wanted.
Is this a press release from Okie Warren or was there any actual journalism involved? Yes, it's unfortunate that we need to cut medical research, but the budget does not balance and there is a spending problem in Washington. Americans simply cannot bear any additional taxation so we have to spend smarter, rely on charitable contributions, and hope that all of the money the President wasted on "stimulus" programs will have some tangible benefit one of these years.
