Secretary of Defense, Dr. Robert Gates is the only one in history to have been asked to remain by the Presidents' sucessor. I have to say overall my opinion of Sec. Gates has been favorable. With his latest endeavor I may have to even upgrade my level of respect for his intelligence.

So, have any of you looked at the Rand Paul proposal that cuts 500B from the budget? It is pretty amazing. He was however very generous about leaving the pell grant system in place for college grants to low inome students ...

Of course along with the Dept of Energy and half of the Dept of Homeland Security he completely eliminated low income housing, low income medical, and half of the food stamp budget. He also eliminated the Dept of Education (it might get them ready for college). Took me a minute to see the methodology on this one. Then I finally figured it out.

Rand Paul must fugure his proposal will have killed off all the lower income children from exposure. After all with no low income housing they will be homeless then they will either get pnuemonia or heat stroke. If that doesn't get them they will starve with no food stamps and for the few left certainly without medical care they will get some kind of third world disease. Thus he could graciously leave the Pell Grants in place knowing there won't be any low income kids left to use it! Oh yeah, an added bonus he lowers the numbers of people living in poverty in his America.
