While Ryan pitches pennies, President Trump dishes billions.
I didn't see foreign aid on the list. Needs to be cut almost entirely. The US taxpayer is burdened ENOUGH without having to fund hand outs to every country in the world...most of whom hate our guts.
I don’t see cutting Obama Phones on the list
Praying most of those are being cut to zero and shuttered for all time.
Oh No! Don’t touch the Mohair subsidies!
Looking out the window at the neighbors’ house a few yards away, getting government-funded solar panels installed today, that boondoggle needs killing.
States need to start cutting welfare benefits.
Illegal immigrants will leave.
States need to start cutting welfare benefits.
Illegal immigrants will leave.
Especially the ones we most want to get rid of, the welfare cheats and spongers..
Which means that the federal debt will grow by only $7.5 trillion over the next ten years, assuming that President Trump's program neither increase or lower the deficit. Keep working, Congress.
* Exchange Programs for Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Their Historical Trading Partners in Massachusetts — $9 million annual savings
Really? You couldn’t make this up if you wanted to!
Published on June 14, 2016???
And today?
They need to get rid of baseline budgeting. Otherwise the word “cut” is likely just a reduction in spending.
I like the list but question the source.
They’ll never get all of this done unless it’s treated kinda like the base closure commission, but of all of these... it’s the Amtrak subsidy that will get the most people whining.
Is ANYONE making donations to the RNC?
You’d have to be stark raving nutz to support that gang of imbeciles.
AGAIN someone posting an ancient article?!?!
AT LEAST POINT OUT THAT YOU ARE POSTING SOMETHING OLD AND USELESS PEOPLE PLEASE.
This is happening every day and it is absurd.
I’ll be posting the headlines that Japan surrenders tomorrow.
Good to see the free stuff for deadbeats program will remain untouched
Exactly - nearly a year old and basically an extract of a Heritage Foundation publication which was an extension of Tom Coburn's "Book of Boondoggles". Some of the "cuts" are contrary to things Trump has said he wants to see improve. An example would be the Manufacturing Extension Partnership which aligns with a Trump concern for more US manufacturing.
Home of one of my son’s neighbors burned down two weeks ago. Source was tracked to solar panels on his roof. Strangely enough, the guy who lives next door to the burned house just added solar panels to the roof over his garage.
Why anyone would want to add all that weight plus drill holes in their roof to mount the panels is beyond me.
