Budgety business

The same budget that is giving subsidies for salmon baby food, canadian geese, sunflower protection, wild hogs, and $350,000 for "education programs" at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, is the same budget that will also slash eligibility for college Pell grants.

Fun fact: 85,000 students that were receiving them will now find themselves shit out of luck, while another 1.2 million students will have their grant funding decreased. On the other hand, the bill appropriates $2 million to buy - wait for it! - a presidential yacht.
