Bush has said his budget will assemble federal resources for war, domestic security and other priorities and cull inefficient or redundant programs. Administration officials have said he will hold overall nondefense spending — excepting domestic security — to less than next year's expected 2.3 percent increase in inflation, meaning the programs will lose purchasing power.
Bush will seek about 5 percent more, or about $600 million, for the $12.8 billion program for low-income area school districts. Last year, he requested a $1 billion increase.
Community health centers would grow to over $2 billion, an increase of $304 million, or almost 18 percent, over this year. Bush said he wants to every poor county to have one of the centers, which are used heavily by the poor.

Bush would slice a $600 million grant program for local police agencies to $60 million next year. Grants to local firefighters, for which Congress provided $715 million this year, would fall to $500 million.
He would eliminate the $300 million the government gives to states for incarcerating illegal aliens who commit crimes.
The Environmental Protection Agency's $8.1 billion would drop by $450 million, or about 6 percent
The Bureau of Indians Affairs would be sliced by $100 million to $2.2 billion.
The $2.2 billion program that provides low-income people -- in large part the elderly -- with home-heating aid would be cut to $2 billion.

There you have it for the inner city and public work.
Why Marg? Are immigrants more likely to commit crimes? Crimes are crimes, regardless of who commits them. You want security in your neighborhood? Eliminate laws create "victimless crime" Half of law enforcement spending goes to stopping people who hurt only themselves. That doesn’t leave much for murderers, rapists and child molesters. Stop trying to throw money at a broken system, stop the knee jerk reactions to social problems.
There you go for the security in your neighbordhood.
The next time you go fishing do not eat the fish it may kill you.
Let’s keep the children dump but we are going to educate the Iraqi children.
The AARP are going to have a good time with this one, and what can I said they are already poor it can not hurt taken away some more of their benefits.
This is part of the “faith base programs” that he is encouraging from churches in communities.
And it falls on the discretion of the individual governments to give away money as it see it fit.

I'd abolish the departments of education, HUD, and agriculture to begin with.
