Reuters -- The Bush administration on Monday sought a cut of $4.9 billion, or 8 percent, in education, training, employment and social services grants ... the White House's five-year plan foresees $66 billion in cuts to Medicare, a program for the elderly, and $12 billion in cuts for Medicaid, the state-federal program for the poor.
