    • Does this post have a point of any kind? By the way, your numbers are a little misleading insofar as you failed to copy them correctly from your source material. The three items below "Senior Corps" are NOT SEPARATE FROM "Senior Corps" but are the three major line items that together MAKE UP the "Senior Corps" budget. You can either click on the source or add the numbers in your head to check this. Other than that I guess this post stands for the proposition that a number of federal service programs that already existed and have had budgets in the past are going to continue to exist and will STILL have budgets. Stop the presses.
