A Web of Truth; Money for Katrina Aid from Cutting Welfare

From: Truthout.org

A Web of Truth

Bunny Greenhouse was once the perfect bureaucrat, an insider, the top procurement official at the US Army Corps of Engineers. In late August, she was demoted, her pay cut and her authority stripped. She and her lawyer say it's payback for her revelations about a politically connected company. Now Bunnatine Hayes Greenhouse is becoming one of the most unusual things known in the upper echelons of government and industry - a top-shelf bureaucrat who is telling all she knows.

Harold Meyerson: A revolt of House conservatives has persuaded that body's Republican leadership to offset the Hurricane Katrina-related federal spending by reducing Medicaid, food stamps and other programs for the indigent. If things go according to plan, this week the House will begin to cut $50 billion from those efforts. What we have here is an ideologically-driven dereliction of duty.
