...average $4,724 grant to pay for college, it can mean the difference between an interesting, rewarding career and a dead-end, minimum-wage job. By putting those students to work on important service projects, AmeriCorps funding also helps build strong, happy communities—and it has bipartisan support across the country. A program like AmeriCorps cries out to be dramatically expanded to help young people build skills while at the same time serving their country in a positive and peaceful way. But President Bush’s latest round of harmful budget cuts took $65 million from...
...Republicans seemed far more tough-minded in pursuit of the prize, bringing in their heavy guns--the Jeb Bush operation, family consigliere Jim Baker and, ultimately, five Supreme Court justices--to win the presidency.

This Administration has abandoned what has been in the past a bipartisan commitment to a relatively balanced position in trying to find peace. It's been an ostentatious alliance between the White House and the Sharon government, I think to the detriment of our nation's image and to the detriment of an eventual peace agreement...
