Senator Mark Pryor wants our ideas on how to cut federal spending. Take a look at this video clip below:
Senator Pryor has asked us to send our ideas to him at cutspending@pryor.senate.gov and I have done so in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Here are a few more I just emailed to him myself at 9:55 pm CST on April 12th.
In my past posts I could have been accused of giving just general ideas of where to cut. Now I am starting in with specifics that are taken from the article “How to cut $343 Billion from the federal budget,” by Brian Riedl, Heritage Foundation, October 28, 2010(Spending cuts in millions of dollars:
$6,000
Eliminate the Community Development Block Grant program.
$598
Eliminate the Rural Utilities Service.
$523
Eliminate the Economic Development Administration.
$480
Eliminate NeighborWorks America (formerly the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation).
$200
Consolidate the Rural Housing and Development Programs and convert them into block grants.
