Moving aggressively to make good on election promises to slash the federal budget, the House GOP today unveiled an eye-popping plan to eliminate $2.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years. Gone would be Amtrak subsidies, fat checks to the Legal Services Corporation and National Endowment for the Arts, and some $900 million to run President Obama's healthcare reform program.

Must have been an older model; mine has a Swiffer dusting cloth attached.
Works great.
As long as it's not taxpayer funded, I'll take it.. ;)
LOL......all I could do whilst drivin’ was holler “GO RUSH”!
Next time you are in Tallahassee I will treat to you Chik-Fil-A !!
Now was that so hard?? Har!
Only $13trillion to go!
L O L
and the rats take another one in the @r$e...(pic from bullfight)
The GOP will show themselves cowards yet again. It's apparent they have NO intention of taking on entitlements. They are cutting around the edges of "discretionary" spending.
Yes, that needs to be done too...first even. But without real substantial cuts to SS, Medicare and Medicaid we don't stand a chance of removing $1.5 Trillion/yr from the budget.
This is how far we have fallen as a nation.
IRS!!!
I didn’t see anything about the $20B in farm subsidies we pay every year...
http://www.dailytech.com/GAO+Discovers+EnergyStar+Program+is+Incredibly+Flawed/article17989.htm
Energy Star is a fraud. The GAO proved it. It only exists as a selling point for industry.
Incompetence, carelessness, and misinformation — Congressional investigators found all of those things when investigating the EnergyStar program over the course of the last year.
Congressional auditors posing as companies secured EnergyStar credentials for 12 bogus products since last June, illustrating deep problems with the green certification program.
Among the bogus products that received the supposedly prestigious distinction were a “gasoline-powered alarm clock” and an “air purifier”, which really was an electric space heater with a feather duster glued to the top.
“or to defend the health care law against any lawsuit challenging any provision of the act. $80 billion savings.”
More than one way to stop the Fascist.
The Dummies will continue to implement the thousands of regs unless they have NO MONEY.
Therefore the CUT.
We bought a W/D from Sears about four years ago. Front loader Washer and Energy efficient dryer. Love them both. The dryer gave me fits electrically but that's okay I have spent my whole life fixing things like it.
The washer is awesome. It washes everything well and uses less than half the water of a top loader. I can't say enough good things about it.
ALL OF THEM! Except the Civilian Marksmanship Program, of course. :-)
Pretty timid list; how about terminating some whole agencies such as EPA, DOE, and HUD along with selling off some of the millions of acres of Federal lands in the Western states?
I love this idea.
We know there is bleed over between depts.
A fullscale top to bottom AUDIT is well overdue.
Wow, I didn’t think they had the guts to do much of anything.
