Government reports $15B in contract cuts, first reduction since 1997

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, your position is that cutting 15 billion dollars out of the budget - not spending it - is bad.

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.

Those dollars 15 billion were taken away from private contractors and given to Fed workers complete with a full beni package. No I want them (DEMS YOU) to revert back to that so-called 'over-inflated' Bush budget and then let's talk.

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.

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

I'm quite happy to "cheerlead" when there are facts to back up my opinion.

I've also said the opposite when it applies, although it's obvious that's not remembered.
