Saving Money
Jan 3, 2014 20:00:14 #
Lawmakers are adding the final touches to a gigantic $1 trillion omnibus spending bill that they are expected to release next week. The bill would spend vastly more than allowed under the sequestration spending caps.
Heritage Foundation budget expert Romina Boccia says lawmakers should "eliminate programs that are better suited for management at a state, local, or private level permanently. Doing so would save American taxpayers money in the long run and reduce the size and scope of the federal governmentsaving even more money, and reducing federal intervention in local government and market functions." She goes further and says there are ten such programs that, if eliminated, would save taxpayers $10.2 billion

Does the list include programs from multiple agencies doing the same thing? It is my understanding there are possibly fifteen of those.

My sieve brain is totally unable to remember where I saw the list. I do know many programs cross agency lines involving Dept. Of Ed., HHS and...hades...blank on the third agency.

A total shame that you can't find the list, but, we should be able to go through the present list, and take out about 50% of them and not hurt anybody doing it. Government is just too dang big at the moment, and we need people to go in there and week out the nonsense that is going on, and only keep those that are doing some good. Wait a minute, I mean doing something necessary.
