Vote you choice for spending cuts here
The winning item last week was Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform, which would have generated $30 billion in savings for the taxpayers. As promised, House Republicans again made history by bringing the item you selected to the floor for an up-or-down vote.
The spending reforms in Fannie and Freddie were defeated 230 to 180. Make them vote! YouCut!
Cantor really needs a better website name for this website, something that can be marketed that links back top this page
All of them look good to me, defund and get rid of them.
I voted for sell excess property!
You right about it. It is hard to find the site even if you look for it.
I always vote for the one that cuts the biggest slice!
This is fun. I hope Cantor keeps it up.
