The Significience of Obama's $100 Million Cut in Spending

What's even more depressing is that they couldn't find that 1/4 penny
so they didn't make any cuts! just lip service of looking for the 1/4 penny!

Let me help them out a bit....

here are a few things they can cut...

The Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was awarded $71,623 to study what the report calls, "Monkeys Getting High for Science."

I'll tape a few local kids that are high, for $ 71. 63 just so congress can get an idea how it works..

The California Academy of Sciences is receiving nearly $1 million in stimulus funds to send researchers to the Southwest Indian Ocean Islands and East Africa to capture, photograph and analyze thousands of exotic ants.

how about we all mail an a envelope full of ants to congress... cost about a buck..

Researchers at Wake Forest University have received nearly $300,000 to study whether integral yoga "can be an effective method to reduce the frequency and/or severity of hot flashes" in breast cancer survivors.

while I don't have any solution here, as I do not want to insult any one with cancer.. ... I think the study is insulting enough..

oil giant BP, the company behind the worst oil spill in the nation's history, is benefiting from $308 million given to Hydrogen Energy California -- a company it owns -- to build a California power plant

a reward for dumpimg oil and halting drilling? just cancel it and we will have already saved more then Obama's high cost panel..

U.S. Forest Service in Washington state, which is spending more than half a million dollars to replace the windows on a visitor center at Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument that today sits closed with no set re-open date.

well why not let me get a contractor buddy put new windows in... it would cost me at least a grand to travel to Washington state to nail up a few boards on the closed building.. I think I could get it done for way under a half million.. say $5000



BTW.. the panel wasn't free... like my advice... rumor has it the hotel cost at least $250 - $450 a day... per person...

see it is easy to cut spending...

look at what needs done... and get it done... Congress wants to study ants.. let them.... start with this bugger, he was free

Here's a list of most, if not all, Government agencies in the US.

http://www.usa.gov/Agencies/Federal/All_Agencies/index.shtml

I'm sure they could find a few that could be cut.

Start with the ones that the Feds. do not have constitutional authority to control.

Can anyone tell us what the Dept. of Education has accomplished towards the goal of improving education? How would you measure the success?


Even a 10% cut in budget for all Departments would be a good start. Contracting many services to the private sector would also be beneficial.

Fiscal Year 2009-FY 2011 President's Budget for the U.S. Department of Education

Compiled for posting on the WEB by the Budget Service on November 2, 2010.
$194,649,333,609 a 19.6% increase over 2009 requests..


plus recovery act.. grand total $ 75,486,000,000

$270,135,333,609 seems like alot ,... I wonder how much trickles down to the child?



let see,.. if I go look at the census results.. yep.. it works out to $4700 per child of school age? Did you school get their check yet?



NOTE* includes 26% non citizen/illegal children in calculating per child figure.. ship them home and it would be $6360 per school age child..
