US deficit hits charity budgets - World - www.smh.com.au: "US deficit hits charity budgets
December 23, 2004
In one of the first signs of the effects of the ever-tightening US federal budget, the Bush Administration has in the past two months cut its contributions to food aid programs.
With the budget deficit growing and President George Bush promising to reduce spending, the Administration has told representatives of several charities that it was unable to honour some promises.
The cutbacks, estimated by some charities at up to $US100million ($131million), come at a time when the number of hungry in the world is rising for the first time in years."
