The Bushinator!! Action Packed Program Annihilation
The cold night air blows eerily, stirring the heavy mist in the dark alleyway.
A spark and then another...yet another.
A burst of light shines forth from the origin of the sparks and then a brilliant flash and there arises the most feared entity to walk this earth. The Bushinator.
He is on a mission from the right to annihilate all of these "WANTED" programs. He is going to take them down.
Ok so maybe not the best example but these are for real. This is the cost of our war on terror and oh so precious tax cuts....it seems like quite a bill.
The x's after the program mean that Bush has targeted this program before
Oh and also these programs are ones that are completely cut...there are more programs getting reductions.
