Lyle this doesn't even touch foreign aid and o's repairing mosques all over the world.
Federal non-representatives have just dug into the federal pie too often and too much! States rights would have none of these approved.
Subject: Proposed cuts
While I don't agree with all, it certainly shows many unneeded programs and activities - perfect examples of BIG government which needs to be trimmed!
Can you find anything in this list of cuts that you couldn't do without?
I'm guessing there isn't...This would be a good start at cutting our over
bloated Federal budget....
These programs/organizations may be very worthwhile, but is this what the
Federal Govt. is mandated to take care...I don't think so...In my
opinion, this is just one example of our goverment over extending their
authority...I bet you can think of many more...
If you would like a good book that discusses issues like this read
Awakening America by Senator Jim DeMint (So. Carol ina )....
Enjoy the day..and please pass this on....The Silent Majority needs to
WAKE UP and become the VOCAL MAJORITY
