Obama to Cut Benefits to Widows and Orphans in Half

Not just any widows and orphans, though...widows and orphans of fallen police officers! Because, you know, when I think of cutting government waste, I don't think of $368,000 Air Force One photo ops, or the National Endowment of the Arts or some obscure museum somewhere. I don't think farm subsidies or helium farms or Institute of Mental Health studies of Peruvian brothels, I think about families of fallen police officers and what have they done for us lately? /sarcasm

the Associated Press reported on May 7 that the president’s proposed budget calls for cuts in the Public Safety Officer’s Death Benefits Program. Obama wants to cut $50 million from the program, the budget to fall from $110 million to $60 million.

Balancing the budget on the backs of widows and orphans, this was big news, right? I mean you heard about it lots of times before you read it here, didn't you? Beuller? Beuller?? Anyone???

Didn't think so.
