Cuts from across the pond

Just picked up a piece in the NY Times courtesy of @WhoCares_IDo on the impact of President Obama's recent budget on non-profits in the US.  It ends with rather a good quote:

The president’s budget director, Jacob Lew, said in The New York Times: “The budget is not just a collection of numbers, but an expression of our values and aspirations.”

That's rather a good question to put to our representatives making budget decisions.
