Read 'em & Weep Continuing Resolution

The House Republicans has released their proposed Continuing Resolution for Fiscal Year 2011 to keep the government running until the 2012 budget can be enacted.  To put it mildly, it's a document that they know perfectly well will be deeply unacceptable to the Democrats in the Senate and President Obama.

As you look at the document, remember that the first column of numbers are as it related to the previous Fiscal Year, 2010, which we are at now as the government is operating on a Continuing Resolution that keeps everything running at the same budget level until a new budget can be approved.  The second column of numbers are the changes as it compares to the proposed 2011 budget, or at least, I assume it's President Obama's request for 2011.  Since we are already well into the Fiscal Year 2011 until March, this means that the cuts in the proposed Continuing Resolution will be even more deeper than they appear, spread over less months than normally.

There are many community and social programs that will see deep cuts, impacting people with low income, people with disabilities, and older adults.
