Bush would terminate 99 programs and make major spending reductions in 55. Separately, the administration listed eight major reforms Bush proposed that also would produce spending cuts. Of the terminations, Bush has recommended 59 of them before. Twenty-seven of the 55 programs targeted for spending reductions have been previously submitted to Congress.

jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 13, 2005 01:58 PM What MD/AM/R6/whoever, and the reliable anti-Bush reporters fail to point out is that there are multiple programs dealing with the very same issues and program goals. Those departments, (some of those departments) which have overlapping responsibilities have been consolidated into one department and the others are being proposed to be dropped. Whether that accounts for all the cutbacks or not is an issue I haven't thought much about but one thing is certain. There are few people in government who could tell anyone what each department is responsible for or how many departments of the federal government have overlapping responsibilities. It's long past due for consolidation of the federal government. IP: Logged

Mystic Dreamz unregistered	posted February 13, 2005 03:18 PM I was under the impression that they are independent corporations. Not with the president we have in office :/ IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 13, 2005 03:45 PM If those departments were private or public corporations, how could the President/Congress abolish them? I think you need a refresher course in American Government. Strike that, you need to start from the beginning. It's clear you were playing hooky from your American Government classes. IP: Logged
Mystic Dreamz unregistered	posted February 13, 2005 04:49 PM They can abolish them because they are a corrupt government. IP: Logged
BlueRoamer Knowflake Posts: 95 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 13, 2005 05:07 PM Obviously Mystic Dreamz is not one of your "liberal intellectual elite," eh Jwhop? See, we're not all elitists! Some of us are just as ignorant as you! IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 13, 2005 05:44 PM I doubt anyone will accuse you of being, in any way intellectual, BlueRoamer...elitist or otherwise. IP: Logged
TINK unregistered	posted February 13, 2005 07:12 PM petron - Mystic Dreamz, Atlantic Myst, Raine 6. I say half of them aren't worth saving. Incompetence being the main reason. IP: Logged
Mystic Dreamz unregistered	posted February 14, 2005 12:16 AM Jwhop is probably part of that satanic cult that the bush family has been part of for centuries now called Skull and bones. Scary to know that we have that type of evil in this world and as our president it is frightening. There will always be chaos under this rule. Order out of chaos IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 14, 2005 01:02 AM Did someone leave the door open? There's a mosquito in here. IP: Logged
miss_apples unregistered	posted February 14, 2005 12:16 PM Jwhop, you just made the true AM/MD show her true colors. LOL! IP: Logged
Mystic Dreamz unregistered	posted February 14, 2005 12:54 PM Yes there is definitely a mosquito here. A nosy one as a matter of fact. *holds door open for miss apples so she can let herself out. IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 14, 2005 03:24 PM Well, I see miss_apples as a Rome Beauty. Unfortunately MD/AM/PMS/R6, I have you down as a variety of crab-apple. IP: Logged
Johnny Newflake Posts: 0 From: Egypt Registered: Apr 2010	posted February 15, 2005 02:24 AM Mystic Dreamz, I'm just curious, are you a reader of David Icke? I've read some of his stuff - he talks a lot about the Skull and Bones cult and other things along that vein. Just wondering. IP: Logged
pidaua Knowflake Posts: 67 From: Back in AZ with Bear the Leo Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 15, 2005 03:46 PM LMAO...is it true jwhop that AM/MD is also R6? WOW...sybil has nothing on the number of personalities that weirdo has...I think I hear a mosquito buzzing too...LOL- a paranoid one at that. IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 16, 2005 10:32 AM Pid, I believe both statements to be true IP: Logged
Mystic Dreamz unregistered	posted February 16, 2005 07:30 PM No r6 here whoever the hell that is. I'm not sure about his name johny. IP: Logged
Harpyr Newflake Posts: 0 From: Alaska Registered: Jun 2010	posted February 16, 2005 07:52 PM R6 was a knowflake who used to post here and often got upset by things said. I don't think you are R6, MD. You utilize a distinctly different vocabulary, IMO. IP: Logged

ozonefiller Newflake Posts: 0 From: Registered: Aug 2009	posted February 16, 2005 11:08 PM Jwhop has the hots for Raine6, though he is often in denial! He doesn't want to hurt his other girlfriend's feelings, but you know how that song does: "...always chasing after the ones that you can't get!"! -Eagles Besides JW, I thought that you said that you would never mention her ever again, Raine6 that is?! I know, I know, it's the Devil that is making you do it, right? IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 16, 2005 11:29 PM Hey Ozone, good to see you again. Still beating that same drum I see. If you're going to quote me Ozone, at least get it right. IP: Logged
ozonefiller Newflake Posts: 0 From: Registered: Aug 2009	posted February 17, 2005 12:58 AM Well you know that some things just never change JW, like the fact that you always seem to have me go and try to look through everything, in order to prove my claims, like this one perhaps: quote: I make no claim of knowing what's best for everyone Ozone. No matter what anyone would do as President, someone is going to be outraged....if he does this or that or nothing at all....about any issue. Let's lay the issue of Raine 6 to rest. If I had known where it would go, I would never have said anything about what she said and her name wouldn't have come up at all. I have no issues remaining with Raine, none. Yeah, I found that under that subject of you claiming me to of that like of Hubris, maybe?! But never in my wildest dreams, would I think that(with the wing part and all)you would ever concider me that of more like Cupid! Sorry Buddy, your a couple of days late for that holiday! IP: Logged
