Government Walker’s Very Bad Plan

Know this for: Understanding why many of the budget cuts that Republicans push for are really, really bad for the country

I’m sure you’ve read articles discussing the pros and cons (mostly cons) of Governor Walker’s budget plan. But have you heard that it may lead to more deaths from cervical cancer? Because Walker’s proposal  eliminates $266,400 for cervical cancer screening, the risk for women contracting cervical cancer and having it progress to a lethal state will increase. These cuts are part of a larger elimination of $3.8 million in state funding for family planning services. Scary? Very. Scarier? That these kinds of cuts could end up being passed on a federal level if the Tea Party continues to exert itself.
