Actually, Bill, that's exactly this thread. The question is: why the "less money" part of the equation without the "more money" part. That's what doesn't make sense here.

Okay, but the elephant in the room is that massive budgetary anchor dragging us down to the bottom of the sea: the war in Iraq. When you talk about federal funds these days, it ALL has to come back there. I'm all for pushing money around in the Education budget. But $239 billion is appropriated for a war we seem destined to lose, and we're cutting $3.7 billion from education!? Any way you slice it, it seems wrong to me.

Yeah, but the thing is: Iraq is the phone service. Education is cable TV. As the OP says: this budget is re-jiggered to "reflect White House priorities". Which makes it all seem plan as day to me.
