With Bi-Partisan help from Senators John McCain (R) and Carl Levin (D), President Obama has pledged in his most recent weekly address to the nation that he will soon begin the arduous task of cutting millions upon millions of dollars wasted in Ineffective Government programs.
He states there will be "no sacred cows or pet projects spared" in this venture of enforcing Federal Fiscal Responsibility.
This includes "Pet Projects" (Porkulus) that have benefited many Congress Members and State Legislators for decades from Lobbyists.
Hint, Hint: Much like several of the lawmakers from North Carolina.
However notice he didn't say anything about cutting programs which were established to help enrich the lives of the American citizens across the board regardless of their socio-economic status or ethnicity such as:
Unemployment Benefits, Pre-School Funding, Head start Funding, After school, Medicaid, Medicare, Pell Grants, Student Loans, Food Stamps, Foreclosure or Loan Modification help, Job Training, Illiteracy Prevention, G.E.D. Assistance, Legal Aid, Fair Housing, Public Schools, Title I Funding, Medical Research, Mental Health/ Counseling, Foster Care/ Adoption Assistance, Child Care Assistance, Broadband Internet for Rural areas, Ex-Offender Re-Entry, Voting Rights Education, Teen Pregnancy Prevention/ Family Planning, HIV/AIDS Prevention, Senior Citizen Meals, Urban Planning for Inner Cities, Affordable Health Care, Health Care Reform, VA Benefits, REAL Disabilities Rehabilitation, High Speed and Light Rail systems, Green Energy, Weatherizing Homes, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, IRS Debt Settlements, Federal Whistle Blower Protection, etc.,
Good for you President Obama!
We appreciate you looking out for the future of our children and grandchildren.
