Swing For The Fences

So the House Republicans have sketched their plan to save $40 billion from the budget. It is as awesome as you would expect:

House Republicans sketched their vision for a smaller federal government Wednesday, proposing sharp spending cuts that would wipe out family planning programs, take 4,500 cops off the street and slice 10 percent from a food program that aids pregnant women and their babies. (emphasis added)
Family planning and neonatal nutrition? Because that's what's holding America back. Our dangerous undersupply of malnourished babies.
