Did Koch Industries Write The Budget Deal?

April 12th, 2011 by Dave Johnson

Did I mention the tax cuts for the wealthy and another $5 billion increase in military?

  • $946 million from construction and repair of federal buildings.

  • $350 million from Labor Department programs, including grants for community service jobs for senior citizens.

  • $2.5 billion in leftover highway money unavailable under current budget caps.

    • Did I mention the tax cuts for the wealthy and another $5 billion increase in military? In case I didn’t mention it, they just passed another huge tax cuts for the rich, and this budget “cut” includes another $5 billion in spending on military.

    Update: See the full list here.
