Republicans once again want to make the same extreme cuts as in last years resolution. The budget hits students who need help with higher education costs by eliminating the Direct Loan Program. and eliminating new funding for Perkins loans and State student incentive grants. The budget makes a host of other education cuts. such as eliminating Goals 2000. bilingual education. and immigrant education programs. Further. the proposal slashes funding for job training. such as the programs consolidated in the CAREERS bill. This budget resolution goes too far by cutting these programs 28 percent below the levels in the CAREERS bill. which already cut the programs by 20 percent.
