Conservatives intent on seeing cuts in all federally programs are sure to especially emphasize cuts to those programs to which they are ideologically opposed. \u00a0Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B.

But don\u2019t try to use the budget as a way to promote a political or ideological agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
