I often wonder the value of waste in federal spending (Harry Reid, employment)

[VTHokieFan]

...and think maybe we should start there with cutting spending, then work our way down.

I believe we could enact 10% across the board cuts in federal spending just from waste and misallocation alone without affecting employment, benefits, services, etc.


What do you think?

Too late. The "waste, fraud, and abuse" money has already been allocated in the calculations for scoring Obamacare. Harry Reid and the Democrats cannot use this to cut govt spending.

As a business owner, if my company is struggling, I cut the things that will impact my customers the least, first. My own pay as well.
Government on the other hand, cuts the services that impact the taxpyers the most, first.

This why we need to elimnate as much government control as we can.
