Very well stated, Barry...

Yo, Dickey....

Nice try, pal... You keep thinking that yer gonna suck me into a **stats game***... That ain't gonna happen... I mean, you'd have to have a team of attornies to cut thru the cooking of books when it comes to the lack of transparancy in Bush's budgets... There are more twists and turn and smoke and mirrors in them to fill up a tanker vessel...

Bottom line, the breakfast programs have been cut by Bush but some states and localities have chipped in to make up the cuts... So, if we are going to look at the ***big picture*** rather than zero in on one locality or state, we have fewer federal dollars going into that program...

But, I know that you love to divert a converstaion toward the realities that are being discussed... Have at it... BTW, if you want to argue with anyone take on OMBWatch.com...

But please accept the reality that folks here ain't like friggin' lightweights and you ain't the big fish in the small pond... We see thru yer games...

...so get off yer stats and join in of the meat & taters of the discusssion 'cause stats, when used repeatedly as a debating trick, are bogus...

Like I said, you wanta argue questionable smoke and mirror cooked booked stats, find another thread where folks is dumb enough to fall for yer usual crap...

Bottom line, and you can't prove me wrong with any ***reliable*** source, regardless of throwing in various local or state data is that the US governemnt has been cutting back on breakfast programs for some time now...

That is the relavent part of the discussion... Not playing apples and oranges against one another...

Like I said, go to OMBWatch and do a little reading as to just what trickery is being used to hide the fact that Bush has been cutting into this program...

Ohters,

Be back later... But maybe tomorrow... This has been one diffiuclt week of work and I'm beat and need some rest....
