Bush didn't cut it. The article says: Just before the summer recess, the Senate passed a $100 million appropriation to restore these cuts, but House majority leader Tom DeLay—who has made no secret of his desire to kill AmeriCorps—blocked the money.
The President says he wants these funds restored, but he doesn't seem to have much control over the powerful DeLay.
yes it may have been someone associated with the Bush asministration but it was not the president personally who cut the funding.
but ya'll are right....our government, all political parties, should be doing more to support education and those who want to become educators.
