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 11:24pm CST.
Senator Rand Paul on Feb 7, 2011 wrote the article “A Modest $500 Billion Proposal: My spending cuts would keep 85% of government funding and not touch Social Security,” Wall Street Journal and he observed:

Homeland Security
Agency/Program Funding Level Savings % Decrease Homeland Security $30.958 $23.765 B 43%

The proposal transfers the United States Coast Guard to the Department of Defense, reduces Transportation Security Administration funding, and decreases remaining program funding to FY2008 levels
