Budget Cuts House GOP are recommending to Obama:


So much for our kids safety...Budget Cuts GOP are recommending:

 

Republicans are suggesting killing a program that pays for building sidewalks, bike paths and crossing guards as part of the Safe Routes to Schools program. That would save $183 million a year.

 

So much for your pension if a federal worker....

 

--Eliminating retirement benefits for federal workers who retire before age 62 to save perhaps $267 million a year.

 

So much for helping opening up markets...

 

--$72 million a year in cuts to the Agriculture Department's Market Access Program that promotes the sale of brand name products overseas like Sunkist.


So much for women equality...


Termination of the Womens Educ Equity program



I say we cut PENSIONS for all GOP House of Representatives, they make entirely too much money as it is.  Or how about giving them only one TERM's worth of pension.

I'll raise the ante -

I say we stop all healthcare benefits for Congress as whole until they pass GOOD healthcare reform legislation! And invoke term limits!

I have a question...are these millions of dollars 'saved' actually saved? Or are they merely saved from one project and redirected to another? I just don't get this. Republicans have been 'saving' us taxpayers millions and millions, yet we are trillions in debt.

While it is true I am not an economist, I do know simple arithmetic and this just not compute, Will Robinson.
