Government reports $15B in contract cuts, first reduction since 1997 By Ed O'Keefe Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, February 3, 2011; 6:49 PM In what administration officials describe as a major milestone, the federal government spent $15 billion less on contracts for outside products and services last year, the first year-to-year cuts in such costs since 1997. Government contracts totaled $535 billion in fiscal 2010, down from $550 billion the year before, the White House said Thursday. With those reductions, the Obama administration is on course to achieve its two-year goal of eliminating at least $40 billion on contract spending, according to Office of Management and Budget Deputy Director Jeffrey D. Zients. If you spend $5,500 on outside landscaping and decrease to $5,350 and then say I got a deal for it when it's a wild field with a bunch of weeds you may be on to something. LMAO How about we just go back to what all Dems/pre-Obama crack-whore-spending, called a inflated budget with the two needless wars and all and start from there as a mendoza-line????????? |
