I don’t really see what this is expected to accomplished. It seems like they’re trying to do something without doing something. I’d rather see some substance instead of a change in procedure.

While I think it’s a good idea to eliminate spending on unnecessary projects, I don’t think this will come close to covering the 200 billions dollars our President is asking for in rebuilding New Orleans. The best way for our government to reduce our budget would be to pay for all of its spending. We are currently spending over 200 billion dollars each year to pay for the interest on the money our government has borrowed. The amount of money we spend to pay for interest in one year could pay for the rebuilding of New Orleans.

Sister, to you to see if you’d like to edit them or post them. I got them in an e-mail and do not have a URL for you to link to. Some the ideas are nutty and won’t fly, but at least here are some people thinking of taking money away from what we don’t need and wanting to put it toward what we do need.

Sister,

I got a list of budget offsets that the Republican Study Committee presented to Tom DeLay. The list does not list specific amounts, but it totals about $800 Billion. With $200 Billion for Katrina, a $350 Billion deficit, and X Billions for Rita, doesn’t it make sesse to look closely at what the RSC came up with?

Send me an email address and I’ll forward the information.
