Blog – House GOP Spending Cuts.

Our government is broke and House Republicans are working to rein in wasteful government spending. Below is an initial list of 148 programs that will be terminated saving our country $100 billion.

Republican Congressional Committed is posting a list of 148 programs that will save us $100 Billion. I am not particularly  familiar with any of these programs – I think I have heard of a couple –  but I did notice if 148 programs were going to save us $100B they  would need to average about $675Million per program. I didn’t see that sort of average in a quick scan of the list, so I actually added up the savings of the 148 programs and came up with $14.3B.- average of $97M each. Now if these congress critters can’t even sum up their selected list of savings, what can we expect when they go after the big numbers?  More lies and obfuscation? (They’re politicians, it’s a rhetorical question)

$14.3B isn’t even a spit in the wind of a $3.7T budget, $100B barely is.  Come on guys, go where the money is – DoD.
