YAY! We are saved, fiscal responsibility is back! :rolleyes:
Not even a drop in the bucket. (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/20/obama-tells-cabinet-cut-100-million-more/)
Acknowledging a "confidence gap" with taxpayers, President Obama on Monday ordered his Cabinet to find $100 million in total spending cuts over the next 90 days as a signal they are serious about spending money wisely.
"One hundred million there, $100 million here, pretty soon, even in Washington, it adds up to real money," the president said after meeting with his Cabinet at the White House, saying he will require them to cut at least 100 specific programs.
The president said the cuts, while not big, "send a signal we are serious" about looking for savings. He said the money, which he said will come from agencies' administrative costs, needs to be saved so it can be spent on higher priorities such as health care.
Gag me!
