I have been looking at the CNN article on the latest budget cuts

House approves $60 billion in budget cuts – Feb. 18, 2011

Among some of the cuts are the following:

  • Block all federal funding for Planned Parenthood
  • Bar any federal agency from spending money on implementing the new health care law
  • Lmit the activities of the Environmental Protection Agency

I would be the first to agree that something needs to be done to address the spending that is taking this country into bankruptcy, what I hate to see that as usual these conservative republicans are recommending that we accomplish this by doing away with programs that are providing good.  Let’s start reducing spending bY

  • Reducing the salary of ALL politicians
  • Having all Washington and state politicians get on a “regular” health care plan, one they have to pay for and one that doesn’t last them the rest of their lives
  • Ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (estimatied to cost $170.7 billion in 2011)
