You are clueless.
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????????? |

So the Dems actually cutting $15 billion real dollars out of just the contract budget, on the way to decreasing just the contract budget by about 8%, is inadequate.
But you think that the Republicans taking $32 billion unspent dollars out of this years entire budget is awesome.

Otherwise it's like dealing with a unemployed, crack adict wife, you want to divorce who swears she'll spend no more than last year and the lawyer is saying you have to wait 2 years. Last edited by dellinger63 : 02-03-2011 at 09:04 PM. |

Really? I await your proof on that. Or is your anti-Obama paranoia just making silly crap up out of thin air?

i don't know what's worse, the all is good line of posting, or everything sucks. i'd imagine the truth of these matters lies somewhere between dells rants and riots cheerleading.
