This SUCKS!

I haven't read all posts, but I'm going to assume that the initial offer was verbal? The verbal offer/acceptance should be honored and they sure as hell shouldn't cut it another grand. Go to the guy that offered you the job and discuss it with him. Find out what happened?

It sounds like there isn't any way you're going to get the first 1k back, but you should let them know that there is no more "wiggle room" for you on this position. You should also be looking for a new company because this one is not reputable and if this is how they treat employees its not going to go well long term.

I'm a manager, I'm a penny pinching bastard, but if I fight for more $$$ for my people, not less. This totally sucks!
