I think enough has been said with regards to the semantics debate, and more eloquently (and also far more amusingly) than I can manage, so I'm going to leave it at that.

However, there's this report from today, with even more fun things to look forward to in our future.

Quote:
The Heritage Foundation blueprint also calls for cuts to the Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women grant program and the Legal Services Corporation. The Office on Violence Against Women grants include funding to provide services to sexual assault victims; for tribal governments; and legal assistance for victims of stalking, sexual assault and domestic and dating violence.
Beyond that, some other deep cuts proposed to arts and humanities grant programs, cuts to clean energy programs, etc.

Quote:
The departments of Commerce and Energy would see major reductions in funding, with programs under their jurisdiction either being eliminated or transferred to other agencies. The departments of Transportation, Justice and State would see significant cuts and program eliminations.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized, while the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely.
