After reading this article they might not be twins but one in the same person. Face it, when did you ever see them in the same place at the same time?!?

Budget Cuts Pass By a Slim Margin Poor, Elderly and Students to Feel Pinch By Jonathan Weisman Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, February 2, 2006; Page A01 The House yesterday narrowly approved a contentious budget-cutting package that would save nearly $40 billion over five years by imposing substantial changes on programs including Medicaid, welfare, child support and student lending....

...The victory was seen by some as helpful to House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) on the eve of a leadership election that he hopes will elevate him to House majority leader. A defeat could have rekindled questions over Blunt's ability to round up votes and manage the House floor....

Those gray haired bastards are just bleeding money that could be handed back to the top 1% of America's wealthy. Same thing with those students. How dare the lower classes seek to better themselves. Sorry no money no education. If you aren't rich the Republican party will help by slapping you with a loan you'll be sorry you ever took out.

...But Democrats blasted the White House and Republicans for allowing states to reduce Medicaid coverage and boost fees for Medicaid programs for the poor and disabled at the same time the president is calling for making permanent tax cuts for wealthy Americans....

George V. Voinovich (R-Ohio) said yesterday, as the Senate took up a procedural motion that would allow tax-cut negotiations to begin. "We cannot afford these tax cuts."

Really George? No kidding? We've been trying to get that across when we still had a budget SURPLUS you Nimrod.
