Compassionate conservatives

Typical.
In response to the worst state budget crisis since World War II, the [republican dominated] Texas House has proposed slashing $27 billion from the budget, including huge cuts to education, nursing homes, and health care for the poor. Yet last Friday, the Texas House Ways and Means Committee approved a tax break for those who want to buy yachts costing $250,000 or more.
