bill not perfect but provides tax rate certainty for most Americans. I am not giving up on $1.2t in cuts

64% of $60b Sandy bill will not to be spent within 2yrs. Recovery $ should be paid for, targeted and timely w/o .

$ in Sandy Supplemental must go to those that need it & not parochial pork projects. Working on amendments to cut out

Special interest tax breaks are spending by another name. My letter to the President and Congressional Leaders here:

No cuts to spending means more gov duplication, roboquirrels, Moroccan pottery classes and prom night video games

Need easy items to cut for ? $18b here: : gov $ for pet shampoo, circus classes, happiness booths & more.

For leadership & courage are needed on all sides bc revenue alone solves nothing w/o reining in spending

Something scarier than the zombie apocalypse: 10 wasteful expenditures in tax code for NFL, Hollywood, NASCAR & more:

$35b spent in 10yrs by DHS on grant programs, including low-priority projects in low-risk areas. My here:

Spending must be cut for when gov pays for armored vehicles to guard rural pumpkin festivals. All in my DHS report out tmrw.

My new DHS report out tmrw shows grants have been spent on a hog-catcher, a latrine on wheels, sno-cone machines & more

Wasteful spending IS the problem. See my suggestions for $9 trillion in savings across ALL of the fed gov.
