Interesting! Some of them you can tell right away are just "fluff," and somebody's probably getting rich off them.
Some we just SHOULDN'T be doing on principle.
Others I suspect Ryan wants to cut because they overlap with another program doing the same thing.
Where did you find this little nugget of info???

Another budget cut would be for welfare to anyone who is here illegally, who cant pass a drug test, and who refuses to work. Plus cut funding to cities and states who are sancturary places for illegals. Also quit funding ANY GREEN ENERGY COMPANIES! Let the private companies find investors. So far Green Energy businesses have cost MORE than they produce in savings. Also cut the funding to countries who harbor terrorists, plus get ride of the U.N!

This looks a lot like what Rand Paul proposed cutting only Rand went a lot further virtually shutting down the government.
I have a question. Why is it assumed that Democrats alone are responsible for everything on that list? It seems unlikely that's the case. A lot of these programs look like pork barrell projects and ear marks to me and both parties are equally guilty of the big money grab by Congressmen for their constituencies.

Hey Ooby. That's a fair question and you're probably right that some of this was crammed in by other congress's. However, Obama's promise what that he would cut the budget in half and also that he would go through the budget "line item by line item." Clearly he has not done this - which wouldn't be all that bad except for the fact that we are in such terrible financial times we REALLY NEEDED him to do this.

I don't think there was ever a president who kept every campagne promise he ever made especially in his first term. Some promises are broken on purpose due to evolving situations. Personally I take campagne promises with a grain of salt knowing that they can't all be kept or they made no sense in the first place. An example by Obama was the promise to close Gitmo. Obviously that was a romantic idea but really who cares if it stays open til all the terrorist die of old age. Then when the last one croaks, then close it. CA houses 100 times as many lifers so it's no big deal. Those people probably live better at Gitmo than they ever did in some hell hole cave in the desert.------ This thread is Archived ------

Yes. But usually they keep at least one or two of their promises. All the bggest ones Obama made he didn't even try to keep

The Spending Reduction Act. Not Ryan’s plan.
Conservatives propose $2.5 trillion in spending cuts
By Michael O'Brien - 01/20/11 12:25 PM ET
House and Senate conservatives are pushing legislation to cut $2.5 trillion from the federal budget over 10 years.
The chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) are planning companion bills to make steep cuts to the budget.
The No. 2 House Republican, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), said he would support an up-or-down vote in the House on the proposal.
"As promised, we will have an open process when it comes to spending bills," he said in a statement. "I look forward to these cuts and others being brought to the floor for an up-or-down vote during consideration of the CR, and I support that effort."
Jordan will formally unveil the proposal in a press conference with RSC members this afternoon, but he and DeMint outlined the basics of their plan this morning.
The plan calls for reducing spending for the rest of this coming fiscal year to 2008 levels and limiting spending in future fiscal years, through 2021, at 2006 levels for non-defense discretionary spending.
The plan would also do away with the remaining stimulus spending, eliminate automatic pay raises for federal workers and end a slew of federal programs — including support for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among other initiatives.
Republicans have demanded serious spending cuts in exchange for agreeing to raise the debt ceiling, which lawmakers must authorize in a vote sometime this year.
GOP leaders have homed in on reducing spending to 2008 levels as a first priority, which would mean about $50 billion in cuts this year. It's not clear that a plan like Jordan's and DeMint's — which they estimate as cutting $2.5 trillion over the next 10 years — would gain enough political support to advance.

That is patently false and if you look at this list you will see exactly what Obama HAS done.And he did all this while being opposed by Republicans whos primary goal was to make him fail at every last thing he tried to do no matter how beneficial it was to the American people. The Republicans first allegence is to the Republican party second to their own wealth and a distant third to the American people.

I am pretty much with you on all of this. Of the line items in the OP I'd say keep the funding for Appalaichins and Native Americans (the Alaska & Hawaii natives) and Beach Replenisment-it's about time to show some respect for the groups who settled this land.
the rest of those line items can go. I don't favor getting rid of the U.N., but it's becoming a security risk - so it should be headquartered elsewhere not NYC - plus it owes us a ton of $$$ so our delegates should be able to participate for free - including meals & travel at the expense of the other nations until the debt is paid

Draconian Republican Study Committee Budget Would Cut Federal Medicaid Funding Nearly in Half by 2022
Even More Extreme than the Ryan Block Grant
The House Republican Study Committee has proposed an alternative budget to the plan designed by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan; both will be considered on the House floor this week. As part of its budget, the RSC proposes to end Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and also to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In place of Medicaid and CHIP, states would receive a single block grant payment each year equal to the amount of federal Medicaid and CHIP funding that they received in 2012, with no adjustment for increases in health care costs or the size of the U.S. population, or even for general inflation.
Conclusion
The Republican Study Committee has declared that its block grant proposal would lead states to innovate, improve access to care, and provide higher-quality care to their most vulnerable residents. Yet the block grant would result in severe cuts in federal funding for state Medicaid programs. To compensate for funding cuts of this magnitude, states would have little choice but to institute deep cuts to eligibility, benefits and/or provider payment rates, resulting in millions more low-income individuals and families ending up uninsured or underinsured and losing access to needed health care.
