I'm afraid you are right VK. When it gets to a point in this country that a cut of $868 million represents a mere 13 percent of a taxpayer funded program, there is something seriously wrong. The proposals are also cutting $457 million, about one-third of the total amount funded annually, from a taxpayer funded program called Food for Peace which supports shipping US commodities to Africa and other places around the world.

Let's be real; how much will the 13 percent cut to the Women, Infant and Children program hurt? The program offers, “supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.” I'd like to see how the money is actually used in the program. How much "food out of the mouth of babes" is actually going away? Probably not much. More like cutting the fat of the program.
