Congress' Pre-Christmas Cuts
The House recently voted to cut $1.6 billion in social-program spending right before Christmas. What do you think?

"Well, isn't this in keeping with the true spirit of Congress?"
Nick Cardy,
Web Press Operator
"Christmas is a time for fellowship and good will towards men, not a lot of negativity about who is or isn't able to afford food or heat."
Mike Royer,
Furniture Restoration Expert
"Geez, you people are never happy. If the House voted to cut $1.6 billion in social programs in the late spring, you would say they were ruining people's summer."
