To be technical we were cut one full time secretary and a part time counselor...leaving us with two counselors and a program coordinator....the kids I work with have also been cut (we cannot sign up any new kids for our program this summer nor can the kids work full-time jobs through us this summer since we subsidize their pay with the grant....we can only afford to pay them for 10 hours per week)!! So I understand the cuts....but thanks for the info!!

Hearing things like this makes me wish we could adopt an Isolationist policy similar to that of the late19th century (pre-Spanish-American war). We could straighten up our own act and to hell w/ all the other countries that mostly hate us anyways. All the repealed foreign aid could go towards domestic concerns. And at least we're not taking verbal pot shots from other countries and then turning around and filling their coffers.
