I get my news from CBS, ABC, NBS, CNN, Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report...and, on occasion, even "Fixed" news. How's that for "Fair and balanced?" Good for you - I wasn't talking about the sources of your info, but your ideology. QuoteA few books I could recommend to my Fox and Friends kool-aid drinkers..."Fiasco" by Pulitzer-prize writer Thomas E. Ricks, "Life in the Emerald City" by Rajiv Chandrasekaran and Cobra 11 (two) by Michael R. Gordon and Gen. Bernard E. Trainor... authors respected by both the left and the right. You can thank me later..Enjoy! PS: And, byt the way, are you disputing that what I wrote in my last post as not factual? In return, I'll recommend "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An e-mail from White House spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield and OMB spokesman Ken Baer said the president has directed agencies to cut so-called "high-risk contracting authorities," which include no-bid contracts, by 10 percent this year alone. "Improving federal contracting and ensuring that our taxpayer dollars are spent well are top priorities," their e-mail said. "The President has charged federal departments and agencies with saving $40 billion annually by Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 through terminating unnecessary contracts, strengthening acquisition management, ending the overreliance on contractors, and reducing the use of high-risk contracts across government. The government’s major contracting agencies – which account for more than 98 percent of contract spending – are on track to meet this goal, identifying more than $19 billion of savings for the first year of this reform effort." Progress? Watchdogs such as the Project on Government Oversight say yes. But that's still not fulfilling Obama's pledge to require competitive bidding for all contracts over $25,000. So we rate this one a Promise Broken. There is a difference a campaign pledge and a lie.. but that would not interfere with a good ole boy bash agin the man now would it..

Sure, it's chump change, esp compared to the trillion dollar deficits, but it's an indication again that this is government as usual.

Have you seen how your deficit has grown between 2008 and 2009? This is true. And that's one of the reasons many on the....well.....left of the arbitrary political line, are pissed at him. He's looking like "Republican Lite". But with regard to the deficit, it would have looked terrible regardless of who won the last Presidential election. The banks would have been bailed out regardless. The auto compaines would have been bailed out because no President would want that industry to collapse under their name (and think of the jobless figures if we had). And a massive economic stimulus package would have been passed. The difference would lie in where those special interest dollars went (not by much though). The very minor difference lies in the philosophy. The Demoblicans seem to recognize that "trickle down" and an unchecked free market philosophy was a dangerous failure. The Republicrats haven't figured that out yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
