clearvision Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Politico:House Republicans threw down the gauntlet at the Obama administration's energy and environmental agenda Friday night, proposing to defund the White House energy adviser's office and block EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions.In addition to slashing the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget by $3 billion – nearly twice as much as they originally proposed – GOP lawmakers included language in the continuing resolution to strip the agency of its ability to implement climate change rules.And despite the fact that Obama's energy and climate adviser Carol Browner is leaving the administration, the bill would defund the post of "Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, or any substantially similar position."

Casino67 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Someone should seriously sit down and go through all of the programs that are still funded, but don't accomplish anything, and cancel them. There are dozens out there that would qualify. Savings would be in the millions if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casino67 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 But there are so many that I have never heard of. Someone on Twitter laid out a long list of programs that should be cut. Think I will email Boehner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think the ones that start out that way are the only ones they read. The others take too many non-existence brain cells to comprehend.
