Adding Up the Minuses for Iowa in Proposed Budget
By Mike Owen
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) today released a
report showing estimates of state-by-state cuts proposed in the
President’s budget, for the coming year and the next five years. The
Iowa Fiscal Partnership has compiled Iowa-specific information into a
one-page summary that you may find helpful. It is attached.
Among findings for Iowa:
-- Elementary and secondary education – cut of $19.3 million in 2012 compared with 2007, and $70.8 million from 2008-12.
-- Grants in aid — cut of $99.2 million compared to 2006 (latest
figures available) not including Medicaid. Grants in aid are how the
federal government provides funding to state and local governments.
-- Supplemental nutrition for elderly – 3,600 Iowans (440,000
nationwide) would lose this assistance from the Commodity Supplemental
Food Program for the Elderly, which is targeted for elimination.
-- Supplemental nutrition for women, infants and children (WIC) –
2,700 fewer Iowans (334,000 nationwide) would receive this assistance
by 2012 compared with 2007.
The proposal also would cut LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance
Program) by $8 million next year, which would affect 16,300 recipients,
and by $45.5 million over five years. It also would eliminate the
Community Services Block Grant, which provides funding to community
action agencies that help people apply for LIHEAP and other assistance.
The full CBPP report, summary and state-by-state tables are available at the following links:
