Editor,

Our knowing what’s actually happening can make a difference: Bush cuts $12.5 million from California job training programs in his 2006 budget.

The Bush budget would require many veterans to pay a new $250 annual “user fee” to use the Veterans Administration health care system, and would double the prescription drug co-payment for the 2,569,340 California veterans.

Bush cuts California clean water programs by $27.6 million.

Bush’s 2006 budget also cuts the Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program – which helps low-income families afford heating fuel in the winter – by $234.4 million, including $10.5 million cut for California residents.

And Bush’s irresponsible budget is a record $427 billion in the red, increasing each California family’s share of the federal debt by $39,010.
