Change you can believe in.

[BlueNgold]

So now he’s only showing a net $1,999,900,000,000.00 on the deficit side of the ledger.

White house: A billion here a billion there in spending, is not alot of money. A million here and a million there in spending cuts is alot of money

Commerce Department scrapped $131,000 worth of unnecessary office renovations

Reminds me of snowy days when "non-essential government workers" are told to stay home. If they are non-essential, then why are they on the payroll?

If the renovations were unnecessary, then why were they planned and budgeted at all?

This is why we don't need or want government anywhere near our health care and insurance.

Air Force will install 2,800 compact fluorescent light bulbs

This will get Obama a Nobel prize for sure.

100 million in cuts vs 780 billion wasted with this idiotic stumulus which never worked..

[rahbert]

I thought it said $100 million in cats!

>>> Treasury will shred and recycle classified materials rather than burn them <<<<<

I believe it’s been proven that recycling costs more than burning. So this is not a money saver.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Wow, $100 million! Amazing - that will settle the $2 TRILLION deficit! It’s 0.005% of the total deficit... We’re on our way to fiscal fitness - HOPE AND CHANGE!

Great. They will pay five times as much for the bulbs. Since fluorescent bulbs are high speed strobes many employees, mostly female, will get migranes and miss work. Then the Air Force will have to pay to have the mercury laden bulbs disposed of properly as hazzardous waste, costing as much as the original purchase. Typival government "savings".

But don't worry. Congress has decreed that soon we will all participate in this "savings" plan.

Asspress shill alert.

Isn't that Chemical Warfare?

[SmokingJoe]

LOL!
You just beat me to that.
Here we have a $1 Trillion deficit already, and on track for $1.8 Trillion deficit this year, most of it in that super wastefull $800 Billion Porkulus bill, and this clown comes up with $100 million in savings?
He thinks he is talking to kids in kindergarten here?

[Moonman62]

How about cutting down on the $250,000 dinner dates?

[stripes1776]

OK, so he reduced spending by 0.003%. What a farce.

[True Republican Patriot]
