"Operation offset" - new rethug initiative to squeeze $$$ from domestic |
|
programs.
One minute speeches this morning. Leading the charge are Reps. :puke: Mike Pence and :puke: Marsha Blackburn.
It's another distraction. Resolutions will reduce federal spending by 1-2% (haven't read the bills for the fine print).
HOW ABOUT BRINGING THE TROOPS HOME, THAT WILL SAVE A BUNDLE!

Operation Offset is the rethugs' code name to cut back on block grants. The House passed a continuing resolution that funds programs at the lower of the 2005 level or the new House budget, WHICHEVER IS LOWER.
Wake up, DU.

the Reps (esp. the Texas ones) last Wed week explain all this. The one I especially liked (in a twisted way) and most of the oinkettes were touting, was the plan to delay the drug benefit for seniors.
They proposed taking all the non-existent money from the non-funded drug plan and putting it into hurricane relief.
I wish I could pay my bills that way.
