Obama, didn’t you say you’d cut the deficit in half by the end of your term (August 2009)?
You didn’t. You almost doubled it.
” cut the deficit in half by the end of your term (August 2009)?
You didn’t. You almost doubled it. “
‘Half’ — ‘Doubled’...
Those stupid fractions are so darned *hard*!!!!!!!
Consider the source - .gov
“said Cass Sunstein, Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs”
Cass “nudge” Sunstein the 2nd most dangerous man to freedom in the administraiton.
Every administration since Nixon has launched a plan to save billions by streamlining government and eliminating unnecessary waste and regulations. Under Clinton it was called something like “Reinventing America” and Al Gore was put in charge. Nothing has ever been accomplished.
“Your ass is grass”
I haven’t heard that in 50 years! There was an older boy i our hood that used to hold us down and stuff grass down our pants, itched like hell when I finally got it all out.
BTW, he turned out to be, well, less than masculine if you get my drift.
wow! only 3.5 years into a 4 year term, he figures out he needs to cut something
almost like conservatives want to do
The Soetero regime loves to repeatedly use ‘unprecedented’ in their comments.
Here’s how I’d like to see it used within about six months: “...Final results have been counted, and it’s clear that Obama has been rejected by the American people in an UNPRECEDENTED 70% voting against his attempt for a 2nd term.”
Who knew that eliminating Congress would save so much? /s
Today, starring the Letter “E”.
Close COMPLETELY the Departments of:
Education
Energy
Environment
This is literally a drop in a bucket, since 80,000 pages of regulations were added to the Federal Register last year.
” Did obama appoint a “Red-Tape-Cutting-Unnecessary-Regulation-Review Czar? “
Complete with a staff of thousands, whose first task is to write a 2000-page book of regulation Regulations...
6 Billion over 5 years???
Given that the government spends some 3.5 trillion a year (and increasing each year), that would be saving 6 billion out of 18 trillion or .033% or the equivalent of saving $16 if you made $50,000 a year!!
This is from the Onion...right???
As I understand the article, they created five more new rules. It wasn’t clear whether they actually eliminated any. Seems like if you are sincere about eliminating regulations and rules you would actually go ahead and do it rather than make more rules about it.
Destroying all these old records is got to save some storage costs, and somebody's a$$ in the process.
Hey! I was gonna post that...
